Agree with Highland Pete. I would love to know if anyone can follow this plan for urban

Quote:
Urban fuel consumption (mpg) (cold) defined as: The urban test cycle is carried out in a laboratory at an ambient temperature of 20oC to 30oC on a rolling road from a cold start, i.e. the engine has not run for several hours. The cycle consists of a series of accelerations, steady speeds, decelerations and idling. Maximum speed is 31mph (50 km/h), average speed 12 mph (19 km/h) and the distance covered is 2.5 miles (4 km).
and get 46.3mpg??? So to recap, cold start, only 2.5 miles never exceeding 31mph, accelerating and decelerating and idling, average speed 12mph. Can you smell something?
