I doubt that there's a calculation error - in my opinion there's just an other way of measurement
as Jeff mentioned, the "key" should be the difference in definition of US norm and DIN nowdays the DIN lays down the exactly way the car has to go for the measurement (x% city, y% standard road, z% autobahn) in the 70s and 80s I remember that all german car magazines showed different consumption numbers: x liter/100 km at 50 km/h y liter/100 km at 90 km/h z liter/100 km at 130 km/h and the so called DIN consumption was a calculated mix-up of all 3 of them so, if american standards were different, it's logical that they show a different mpg rate btw - with the metric system our cars have a 60 liter gas tank |
