The EC Directive 80/1268/EEC as last
amended by 1999/100/EC applies to
measurement of the fuel consumption of
vehic les.
Fuel consumption was prev iously giv en for
urban traffic , and constant speed s of 56
mph (90 km/h) and 120 mph (75 k m/h). The
new standard is b ased on the emission
drive cy cles to determine CO
fuel consum ption.
Urban driving is assum ed to make up
around 1/3 of the overall consump tion
figure and ex tra-urba n driving around 2/3.
Cold starting and a cceleration p hases a re
additionally tak en into account. The new
figures are consequently higher than the
old ones.
The new reg ulation also requires the CO
emission level to be sta ted.
The figure given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actua l fuel consumption
of the v ehicle.
Discrepancies b etween actual fuel
consump tion and the figures given can
result from driving style, road and traffic
conditions or the cond ition of the vehicle.
