Fuel consumption, CO
2emissions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed
by 2004/3/EG) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996. The directive is oriented to actual driving
practices: Urban driving is rated at
approx.1/3 and extra-urban driving with
approx. 2/3 (urban and extra-urban
consumption). Cold starts and acceleration
phases are also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO
2 emission is also a
constituent of the directive. The figures given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a particular vehicle.
All values are based on the EU base
model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 2004/3/EG takes
account of the vehicle’s kerb weight,
ascertained in accordance with these
regulations. Optional extras may result
in slightly higher fuel consumption
and CO
2emission levels than those
quoted.
To convert l/100 km into mpg, divide 282
by number of litres/100 km.
