Yup. This is a common pitfall when talking about European cars. They're sometimes quoted in Imperial MPG even when they're not for sale in Britain.

No, that's not the flaw (although it is true).

It can get 96mpg. It can go 100mph. It _cannot_ do both simultaneously.

The more fundamental flaw is how to drive _on_ a mile per gallon rate.

Thanks, didn't read closely enough and it's too late to edit. :)
