FUEL CONSUMPTION

We derive CO2 and fuel consumption
figures in laboratory tests according to
Regulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC)
692/2008 and subsequent amendments.
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.
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.

2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record
3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading
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.
