You and I measure fuel economy in mpg etc.
Both on the highway AND in town.
(you know town: where 98% of all driving happens)

The rest you leave to research labs.
Then you read their peer reviewed, published (= White-balled = fact) research.

Or you try start an in depth argument to obfuscate the basic, fundamental facts.
Good luck with that.

In the USA, 55% is 'CITY', 45% is 'HIGHWAY' for the EPA 'COMBINED.'
Which would have no bearing on some motorists, whose driving is mostly highway, at up to 85-mph ( 136.7-km/h )
'Context'

Context is exactly it:
In this context:
Model Y vs. EV6 Cd Analysis why is one Cd better than the other.

One may have an aluminum flat bottom, while the other doesn't.
That one may do better on the freeway, while the other does better in town, despite its higher Cd, thx to less weight.
(and possibly due to a cooler exhaust or something)
