Fuel consumption, CO
2
emissions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed
by 1999/100/EC) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996.
The directive is oriented to actual driving
practices: Urba n driving is rated at
approx.
1
/
3
and extra-urban driving with
approx.
2
/
3
(urban and extra-urban
consumption). Cold sta rts a nd acceleration
phases are also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO
2
emission is also a
constituent of the directive.
The figures given m ust not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a particular vehicle.
All va lues are b ased on the EU ba se
model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 1999/100/EC takes
account of the vehicle’s kerbweight,
ascertained in accordance with these
regulations. Optional extras may result
in slightly higher fuel consumption
and CO
2
emission levels than those
quoted.
To convert l/100 km into mpg, divide 282
by num ber of litres/100 km.
