Fuel consumption, CO
2
emissions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed
by 2004/3/EG) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996.
The direc tiv e 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). C old sta rts a nd acceleration
phases are also taken into considera tion.
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 p artic ular vehicle.
All va lue s are b ase d on the E U ba se
model with standard equip ment.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 2004/3/EG takes
account of the vehicle’s kerbweight,
ascertained in accordance with these
regula tions. Optional extras ma y 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 litre s/100 km.
