Manufacturers and stated economy..or not

We had a fleet of EA and EB falcon wagons years ago, most of the ones that did big kilometres were pretty similar, however the boss had one which spent most of its time ferrying him to and from work and being driven around town to get the mail and run errands. Across several vehicles this one was always the worst performing with the poorest economy and most unreliable.

Our work vans are the same.
All same model,but different years,all have different fuel burns.

The last D2a we had was the closest to the manufacturers stated fuel economy than any other vehicle we have ever had.
For some reason it was rediculously good on fuel.

The D4 always liked a drink[bighmmm]Not that we really cared.
Although the small fuel tank was always a PITA.

Easily done, sometimes with disastrous consequences...
