Adverts on Auto Trader have recently started showing lower fuel economy figures for facelifted BRZs/GT86s. It was just the Blue Edition of the GT86 until the last few months for some reason. It's the manual versions I'm interested in by the way.
My BRZ info from Subaru from both 2015 and 17 (pre-facelift and facelift) show near identical figures. So what's happened?
Official 2015 figures are 27.2, 44.1, 36.2 (urban, extra urban, combined).
2017 figures are 27.2, 44.8, 36.2.
Auto Trader figures for the later cars are 23.4, 42.8, 32.8.
For the GT86, only the combined figure is now given - 33.23.
Anyone know what's going on?
I know these figures are academic, but they are useful for comparison purposes between different models from different manufacturers.
