The more traditional D - mode is suited to more relaxed driving, around town - with obvious benefits in
terms of fuel consumption.
However, the higher
levels of fuel consumption do mean it will be more costly to run as a company car than the 2.0 - litre diesel.
Special displays in the instrument cluster let the driver know how well they are doing by indicating how much the driving range is being extended and by showing a
history of their fuel consumption.
This addition is particular attractive in
terms of fuel consumption, as the lower engine speeds create an opportunity for greatly improved fuel economy on the highway.
I am curious what
kind of fuel consumption was produced in order to «achieve fuel efficiency that exceeds those standards by 10 %».
In comparison with the straight - six featuring Twin Turbo technology and High Precision Injection already featured in several model series, the engine at the same time offers a further
reduction of fuel consumption by up to 9 %.
The cutting of the weight and use of the latest techno parts have resulted into reduction
of fuel consumption by 25 per cent.
There is a super-linear releationship between rate of acceleration and
rate of fuel consumption (more fuel consumed per meter / second ^ 2 at higher rates of of acceleration).
Factors taken into account are: low thermal efficiency at low power; cycling of back up generators; energy needed to build and to install wind turbines; energy needed for cabling and net adaptation;
increase of fuel consumption through partial replacement of efficient generators by low - efficiency, fast reacting Open Cycle Gas Turbines.
(Fuel economy figure is based on a combination
of fuel consumption when driven in all - electric mode, called the plug - in fuel efficiency, and when driven in hybrid mode, called the hybrid fuel efficiency, measured via Japan's JC08 mode.)
The charterer contended that cl 4 (c) was directed to when a vessel deviated from her course after she had set out for the nominated port and as a result incurred extra expense by
way of fuel consumption and lost time, and that loss of the opportunity to stem bunkers more cheaply in Mina Al - Ahmadi was not within cl 4 (c).
Wood crossties require harvesting a lot of CO2 - absorbing trees, roughly 89,000 cubic meters of timber per million crossties; concrete versions increase greenhouse gas emissions
because of the fuel consumption during their manufacture.
Fill the tank with fuel, zero the trip counter, then monitor the trip counter up to around the 300 to 325 mile mark as a
measure of fuel consumption.
The Ingram Park Nissan inventory is stocked with several vehicles earning over an Environmental Protection Agency - estimated 30 mpg highway fuel economy for drivers who prefer to be
conscious of their fuel consumption.
All BlueEFFICIENCY Edition models reflect the Mercedes - Benz philosophy of «Real Life Efficiency», combining a realistically achievable low level
of fuel consumption under everyday operating conditions with fun at the wheel and the comfort typical of the brand.
Optimized aerodynamics have a direct impact on the car's fuel economy and emission management; a reduction of air drag by 10 % offers a reduction
of fuel consumption on the road of more than 2.5 %, according to BMW.
Renault has developed a new, six - speed, automatic dual - clutch transmission called EDC (Efficient Dual Clutch) which delivers a
standard of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions that marks a significant step forward compared with conventional automatic transmissions (a gain of up to 17 %, i.e. a saving of approximately 30g of CO2 / km).
These days, if you're looking for a car best suited for navigating dense areas or on the low
side of fuel consumption, you can barely do better than getting a MINI.
A seven - speed dual clutch handles gear shifts and VW says the concept is
capable of fuel consumption as low as 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers on the European test cycle.
Speaking of fuel consumption, if you're wondering why the plug - in hybrid PHEV hasn't been mentioned that's because its update doesn't arrive for a few months yet.
In terms
of fuel consumption too, the new S4 and S4 Avant 3.0 TFSI score top marks — using only 9.7 liters per 100 km (24.25 US mpg), the sedan outdoes its predecessor by a remarkable 3.6 liters (0.95 US gal), as much as 27 percent.
In city driving, Mazda's i - Eloop KERS - like system uses a capacitor to store the kinetic energy which can power the car's electrical systems for up to one minute; that's one extra
minute of fuel consumption avoidance while waiting at the stop with the engine shut off.
The Fiat Linea T - Jet comes with a 1.4 - litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 114 BHP and 207 Nm returning 15.7 km /
l of fuel consumption.
The
values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown are determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval.
Last but not least, the innovative three - valve technology helps shed pounds - although the main advantages of this principle are in the
areas of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.In addition, a gap between cylinders of just 90 millimetres allows for a design that is just as compact as the eight - cylinder.
As aerodynamic drag composes roughly two -
thirds of the fuel consumption for a tractor - trailer at highway speeds, a 50 percent reduction in drag represents a 33 percent reduction in fuel consumption.
Within the transportation sector, the environmental damages per
unit of fuel consumption are $ 3.80 (− 1.80 / +2.10) per gallon of gasoline using a 3 % discount rate, far larger than the current federal tax of $ 0.184 per gallon and more than 7x greater than the typical combined local, state and federal gasoline tax (additional negative externalities associated with gasoline use should be part of an optimal fuel tax).
Secondly, it brings together the strengths of our fullsize models within an entry - luxury format that also has benefits in
terms of fuel consumption.»
In addition, GETRAG PowerShift transmissions combine the high degree of efficiency of a manual transmission with an application - specific shifting strategy, thereby resulting in a considerable
reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to conventional automatic transmissions.
Older vehicles were harder to speed in — a driver was better connected to the vehicle and the road you could feel the road through the wheel, the engine rev through the pedal and if you had a standard transmission you could feel the
level of fuel consumption by way of drive train lash.
