What is Combined MPG?
Fuel Consumption and Combined MPG explained.
- Combined MPG is the fuel performance shown for the Urban Cycle and Extra Urban Cycle added together. It is calculated as an average of these two tests and is weighted by the distance covered in each.
- The Urban Cycle is carried out from a cold start, performed under laboratory conditions between 20 and 30 degrees on a rolling road. This means the engine has not run for several hours and is cold. The test cycle consists of a series of accelerations, steady speeds, decelerations and finally just idling.The maximum speed through this test is usually 31mph, the average speed is is 12mph and the distance covered is 2.5 miles.
- The Extra Urban Cycle is usually conducted immediately after the Urban Cycle test. It consists of roughly half steady speed driving and the remainder in accelerations, decelerations and idling. The maximum speed throughout the test is 75mph, the average speed is 39mph and the distance covered is 4.3 miles.
