Peugeot ECO CUP results show impressive fuel economy
Peugeot 308
The Peugeot ECO CUP was designed to see if four different standard Peugeot HDi diesel models, in the hands of everyday drivers, could better the official government fuel economy figures for the vehicles. The cars were driven over 600 miles of French and Swiss roads in heavy wintery conditions.
The average fuel consumption achieved by the winning drivers is as follows;
- Peugeot 308 HDi FAP 110 – 89.95 mpg
- Peugeot 207 HDi 90 - 87.10 mpg
- Peugeot 5008 HDi FAP 110 – 84.77 mpg
- Peugeot 3008 HDi FAP 110 – 79.10 mpg
Jon Goodman, Managing Director of Peugeot UK said,”This project has proven two things; that there are a lot of people out there interested in doing their bit for the planet by stretching fuel economy to the max; and that this can be achieved in standard Peugeot diesel cars, with our new 5008 7-seater MPV nearly cracking 85mpg and our 308 5-door family hatch pushing 90 mpg”.
