    I mainly take issue with the word “guzzle”. When something “guzzles petrol”, I expect it to be choking down something like twice as much petrol. Not 7 percent.

    7 percent is basically 4.0 versus 4.28 litres/100km. In a motor vehicle that’s the difference between careful driving and slightly less careful driving. Or the difference between a motoring magazine’s figures and factory figures. It’s not “guzzling extra fuel”.

      How you drive is the biggest factor. I can get 3.5L/100km driving super careful in my Prius, I can also get around 6L/100km if I race everywhere.
