Fuel Consumption - Ford EVEREST Owner's Manual

FUEL CONSUMPTION

We derive CO2 and fuel consumption
figures in laboratory tests according to
Regulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC)
692/2008 or ECE R 101 and subsequent
amendments where applicable. They are
intended as a comparison between makes
and models of vehicles. They are not
intended to represent the real world fuel
consumption you may get from your
vehicle. Real world fuel consumption is
governed by many factors, for example
driving style, high speed driving, stop-start
driving, air conditioning usage, the
accessories fitted, payload and towing.
The advertised capacity is the indicated
capacity and the empty reserve combined.
Indicated capacity is the difference in the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank and when
the fuel gauge indicates empty. Empty
reserve is the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Note: The amount of fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range. When refueling
your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates
empty, you might not be able to refuel the
full amount of the advertised capacity due
to the empty reserve still present in the fuel
tank.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
• Switch the ignition off.
• Allow no more than two automatic
shut-offs when refueling.
Note: Results are most accurate when the
refueling method is consistent.

Fuel and Refueling
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1,600 km of driving (this is the engine
break-in period). A more accurate
measurement is obtained after 4,000 km.
Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or
fuel gauge readings are not accurate ways
to measure fuel economy.

Additionally, keeping records during
summer and winter show how temperature
impacts fuel economy. In general, your
vehicle will use more fuel in cold
temperatures.

Fill the fuel tank completely and record
the initial odometer reading.
Each time you fill the fuel tank, record
the amount of fuel added.
After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel
tank and record the current odometer
reading.
Subtract your initial odometer reading
from the current odometer reading.
Calculate fuel economy by dividing
miles traveled by gallons used (For
Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then
divide by kilometers traveled). Keep a
record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or
freeway). This provides an accurate
estimate of your vehicle's fuel economy
under current driving conditions.
