Don't worry if you're not getting anywhere close to official figures.

Apparently;

Regulations allow array of tricks to distance test centres from real life
Car firms can tape up doors, disconnect alternator and drive DOWNHILL
They keep temperature at fuel-efficient - and decidedly un-British - 29C
It comes after research showed cars have 18% lower MPG than advertised
Brussels pressure group accuses firms of 'manipulating' the EU rules

I can't find the figures for the 108 yet (probably because it's too new). The Fiat 500 figures are shocking though:

Fiat 500 Hatchback, 1.2
Claimed MPG: 58.9
True MPG: 35.5
Claimed fuel cost per annum: £1,002
Actual fuel cost: £1,767.21
Difference: £765.21
