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

No, not 'made up' figures. Just *my* personal experience in 37 years
of
driving including road rallying (in the '60s and '70s with the RAF
Motor
Sport Association), 7 1/2 ton trucks and small van deliveries
(multi-drop
and long distance). When I've worked for companies with fleets of
similar
vehicles I was always able to get better mpg than all the other
drivers by
using some of the techniques employed by drivers in the old Mobil
Economy
Run (does anyone know if the MER - or its equivalent - still takes
place?).

No science then.
Just figures that you think you remember.

What is the fuel consumption of a modern, standard CAR at 20, 30 and 40?

Define modern define standard?
Can you be anymore vague?
Are we talking Smart car or Maybach (both modern Mercedes cars)?
Are we talking fully loaded, or single driver occupant?
See level or on the M62 over the pennines?

Also: when the engine is cold just after starting (viscous engine oil,
richer fuel/air mixture) or after it's been running a while and the
temperature has stablised.

Let's take the definition of modern car to be:

- Ford Focus 1.6i Zetec (petrol) and 1.8 TDCi (diesel), manual - both 100 hp
- warm engine: cooling system at normal operating temperature
- one person in car, no luggage
- at approx sea level
- no head-/tail-wind
- figures for steady 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 mph

Any facts at all would be useful.
