Driving and the environment
Directly after a cold start, the engine uses about 50-70 litres of fuel per
100 km. This figure then drops to 20-30 litres per 100 km after about one
kilometre. The engine only reaches its working temperature after about four
kilometres, when fuel consumption will return to a normal level. You should
therefore avoid short journeys.
The ambient temperature has a decisive influence.

than in summer.
