Technical Data5FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testingprocedure (the new EC test procedure from Directive 93/116/EC), and produced inaccordance with The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption (Amendment) Order 1996. Undernormal use, a car’s actual fuel consumption figures may differ from those achieved throughthe test procedure, depending on driving technique, road and traffic conditions,environmental factors, vehicle load and condition.Fuel consumption figuresURBAN EXTRA-URBAN COMBINEDmpg l/100km mpg l/100km mpg l/100km1.8 petrol manual 26.1 10.8 46.5 6.1 36.1 7.81.8 petrol auto 20.1 14.1 36.3 7.8 28.0 10.12.0 petrol manual 20.9 13.5 40.3 7.0 30.1 9.42.0 petrol auto 17.6 16.0 34.1 8.3 25.4 11.12.5 petrol manual 20.2 14.0 39.4 7.2 29.2 9.72.5 petrol auto 16.8 16.9 32.8 8.6 24.3 11.62.0 diesel manual 36.9 7.6 63.1 4.5 50.0 5.6Urban cycleThe urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and consists of a series of accelerations,decelerations and periods of steady speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speedattained during the test is 31 mph (50 km/h) with an average speed of 12 mph (19 km/h).Extra-urban cycleThe extra urban test cycle is carried out immediately after the urban test. Approximatelyhalf of the test comprises steady-speed driving, while the remainder consists of a series ofaccelerations, decelerations and engine idling. The maximum test speed is 75 mph (120km/h) and the average speed 39 mph (63 km/h). The test is carried out over a distance of4.3 miles (7 km).CombinedThe combined figure is an average of the urban and extra-urban test cycle results, whichhas been weighted to take account of the different distances covered during the two tests.NOTE: These figures should not be compared with figures produced using the ECE/EEC procedure previouslyrequired by The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1983. Because of the changes in test procedure, even theurban figures would differ if the same car were subjected to both tests.203
