In my Honda with its 2 litre, 12-valve, computer-controlled fuel-injection
I
can reach 80mph on a motorway with very little throttle movement and then
ease off the gas until I'm just feathering the pedal to maintain that
speed.
In this way I get better fuel consumption than in the urban cycle.
There's
no public road in this septic isle that will allow me to use full throttle
at maximum torque.

In town traffic I can do the same, ie keep in a higher gear at lower
revs/speed (20mph in 5th gear) and still be able to accelerate smoothly
with
just a twitch of my right toes. The only thing that adversely affects
consumption is driving in London (and other major cities in the rush-hour)
where the stop/go/stop conditions force me to use 1st gear most of the
time.

Ah, I see.
Made up figures then with no facts.
