This raises an interesting question for me. Is fuel economy something that the manufacturer is somehow obligated to guarantee? Within a certain percentage of published figures, for example.

I mean, what if your new vehicle never even gets close to the advertised fuel consumption figures? Does the consumer have any recourse?
Say the manufacturer publishes 10L/100km combined but you routinely get 15L/100km no matter how you drive. What if your car just plain sucks? What then? Couldn't this technically be considered a problem that should be covered under warranty?
