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 a ctual driving
practices: Urban driving is rated at approx.
1
/
3
and extra-urban driving with approx.
2
/
3
(urba n and ex tra -urba n cons umption).
Cold starts and acceleration phases are
also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO
2
emission is a lso a
constituent of the directive.
The figures given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consum ption
of a particular vehic le.
All values are based on the EU base 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 accord ance 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.
