I love it when these types of claims are made. It always makes me think back and ask myself the question: Did anyone ask me about this? The answer is always no. Where do they get these figures? Statistics Fairy, or Gnome?

I guess they ask a sample and multiply the percentage of answers by the UK population.

Whether their sample was representative I don't know...I'm guessing not!

It also demonstrates the fallacy of "averages" - "the average UK car now costs £41,219."

I completely understand and share your sentiment regarding the skepticism surrounding certain claims and figures presented without direct consultation or verification.
