Fuel Consumption; Calculating Fuel Economy; Filling The Fuel Tank - Ford Transit Owner's Manual

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Note: The amount of usable 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 of the fuel tank due to the empty
reserve still present in the fuel tank.
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are
derived from laboratory tests according to
Regulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequent
amendments are carried out by all vehicle
manufacturers.
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 including: driving style,
high speed driving, stop-start driving, air
conditioning usage, the accessories fitted,
payload, towing, etc.
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.

Filling the Fuel Tank

For consistent results when refueling:
• Switch the ignition off.
• Allow no more than two automatic
shut-offs when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the
refueling method is consistent.

Fuel and Refueling

Calculating Fuel Economy

Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is
the engine break-in period). A more
accurate measurement is obtained after
2500 mi (4,000 km). Also, fuel expense,
frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readings
are not accurate ways to measure fuel
economy.

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