And It cheap too. (for our standards) And not many peope noticed it, maby except for the Frensh - best selling car i France at the moment I belive.
Don't forget the AX diesel which is 10 years older than the Lupo 3L. With mine (post 94), I've been getting 15% better then the official 90 km/h FE. And the 92-94 version was rated at 3,3 l which would mean sub-3 l.
OK, one could argue that they've never seen such figures out of an AX. But I don't have the feeling to have a completely abnormal driving to achieve that. I just drive in the right lane and never brake. Maybe, it's just that the car never came into the hands of true hypermilers.
