Fuel consumption and CO2
emissions
Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be
negatively impacted by a number of factors.
Examples of causes of increased fuel consump-
tion include:
•
If the car is not regularly charged from the
mains.
•
If the car is equipped with extra equipment
that affects its weight.
•
Driving style.
•
If the customer chooses wheels other than
those mounted as standard on the basic ver-
sion of the model, as this could increase roll-
ing resistance.
•
High speed causes increased air resistance.
•
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
weather and the condition of the car.
A combination of the examples above could
increase consumption considerably.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes in combina-
tion with fuel quality are factors that consider-
ably increase the car's fuel consumption.
