Ooohh thats tricky, as I think from memory the fuel economy tests involve a 120kmh stint, if you limit the van to 110 - bingo - better stated fuel consumption label.
Also the fuel economy tests will test the fuel economy at exactly the point of a green shift indicator (pointless in real world driving conditions) - not the usual optimum rev/torque shift changes - so bingo again better stated fuel economy.
You can sneakily get a very good ADR fuel economy figure by introducing the above tactics without actually changing the vehicle's efficency.
I stand to be corrected if my vague memory on how it works is incorrect.
