  • My vehicle does not produce the same fuel consumption figures as shown in the 'New Car Fuel Consumption and Emission Figures' published by Volkswagen.

    Because of the need to maintain strict comparability of results achieved by the standard tests we cannot be fully representative of real-life driving conditions. Firstly, it is not practicable to test each individual new car; thus only one production car is tested as being representative of the model and may therefore produce a better or worse result than another similar vehicle. Secondly, there are infinite variations in driving styles and in road, car and weather conditions, all of which can have a bearing on the results achieved. For these reasons the consumption achieved on the road will not necessarily accord with the official test results. For more information on how fuel consumption is calculated and other fuel consumption related questions, please see the FAQ section on the
    VCA Web Site.
