Directly after a cold start, the engine uses about 50-70 litres of fuel per
100 km. This figure then drops to 20-30 litres per 100 km after about one
kilometre. The engine only reaches its working temperature after about
four
kilometres, when fuel consumption will return to a normal level. You should
therefore avoid short journeys.
The
ambient temperature
has a decisive influence.
The illustration shows the different rates of fuel consumption for the same
distance at both +20
°
C and -10
°
C. Your vehicle will use more fuel in winter
than in summer.
