Fuel Consumption And Co2 Emissions - Volvo XC 60 Owner's Manual

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be
affected negatively by several causes.
Examples of this are:
•
If the car is equipped with extra equip-
ment that affects the car's weight.
•
The driver's driving style.
•
If the customer has specified wheels
larger than those fitted as standard on the
model's basic version, then resistance
increases.
•
High speed results in increased wind
resistance.
•
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
weather and the condition of the car.
Even a combination of the above-mentioned
examples can result in significantly improved
consumption.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-
nation with fuel grade are factors that
could affect the car's performance.
