...quite a few cars driving around with the fuel consumption sticker still

I would leave mine on to show my neighbours my brand new car and also how
environmentally responsible I am.

Those stickers are supposed to be removed when the car is sold and having
it's final clean.

The km/l are an average and easily obtained or even bettered since the
standard government test is an average for various driving conditions.

I've bettered the number given on the sticker in my Astra by a fair margin
when doing long country k's.

I've never had trouble achieving the manufacturer specified figures, and
that's in 4 different cars.

Ever heard of re-use and recylce? Buying a new car is not
environmentally responsible. I love my new car BTW.
