I remember when Clarkson drove a BMW 5 series and a Prius around the test track flat-out, and they consumed similar amounts of fuel. Their labels showed the Prius was meant to use much less.
The only time my 2015 X-Trail got the advertised mileage was when I descended a mountain.
It was a Prius being driven as fast as it could go for 10 laps around the Top gear test track. Being followed at the same speed by an E9x M3.
Entertaining yes. Scientific... Hrm
