FUEL CONSUMPTION

Driving speed and gear selection
E102245
The graph shows how fuel consumption
is affected by speed and the choice of
gears. Holding on to lower gears to improve
acceleration will result in significantly
higher fuel consumption.
Length of journey/engine
temperature
Frequent cold starts and short distance
driving leads to considerably increased fuel
usage.
Traffic and road conditions
Slow moving traffic, uphill driving, frequent
sharp bends and rough roads all have an
adverse effect on fuel consumption.
Erratic driving habits
Anticipate hazards ahead and keep a safe
distance from the vehicle in front.
This not only reduces fuel consumption
but also the noise level.
