It's not necessarily
not the driver, either. Some cars and engines show more variety based on driving than others do.
That my wife, who is very far from an aggressive driver gets about
half the mileage that I do in the 35i leads me to believe that yes, it is the driver. If the 35i can show that big a difference, I would think the smaller engine 28i can show even more of a difference, given the same car.
And the conditions cars are driven under may vary too, which also isn't a fault of the vehicle.
Of course, there could be unknown reasons that only occur in some vehicles some of the time, but somehow I doubt it.
Introducing unknown reasons on top of the known reasons goes against Occam's razor.
