The EU emissions tests are a lot less ‘real world’ than the US ones in practice- Manufacturers quote some wild fuel economy claims that cars never reach in the real world. Fiat’s Twinair engine is a prime example- quoted as around 70MPG in the 500, in the real world they average around 46MPG.

Incidentally, my bike gets around 95MPG on a motorway cruise.

And will do 0-100km/h in about three seconds.
