    Why, if I put 30,000km per year the fuel consumption drops to 6,0l/100km?

    Also, I still can't see what are the conditions in which those figures are achieved.

    travelcard is an organisation that issues tank passes. On that basis they are able to see what each individual car seems to be consuming. So the conditions can vary greatly, but with a large number of observations they arrive at a certain average.
    Obviously drivers who do more kms per year are able to do that a more favourable rate, presumably as the greater numbers of kms you cover, the less the share of city driving becomes.
    Furthermore the results have been calibrated with assistence from the major Dutch research conglomerate TNO.

    But I am afraid I have to leave it here, I am off to California tomorrow, and I'll keep you posted on the mileage of the Taurus SHO that we will be using there.....

    I'm betting it'll be 6.2 as well...

    Don't worry, I'll wait until you return and we can continue where we left it.
