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 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 a full tank and a tank
when the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in the
tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
