smart gasoline consumption and pollution CO2

As a smart consumer and polluter gasoline?

Take for example the smart gasoline by 84 horses.

From a test and it seems some evidence that official data provided by smart are not congruent with the actual consumption and hence the real pollution, as these go hand in hand.

More consumption more pollution.

mainly used the automatic transmission in combined (city, suburban, highway) consumption in the real test was lt/100 6.60 km, compared to 4.9 km lt/100 declared by the manufacturer.

Driving on a regular basis, on the highway 100-110 km / h on average, consumption is close to the results officially declared, or 15.2 kilometers / lt against 15.63 km / lt. From

lt/100 4.9 km from Smart declared the actual consumption of 6.58 km lt/100 there seems to be a lot of difference, 34%.

Quattroruote also does not seem to see clearly and declares:

How much fuel they consume the cars we drive every day? The dozens of road tests carried out by "Quattroruote" in 2007 show that the data declared by the car manufacturers are on average 30% lower than that recorded actual use of the cars. A gap that can reach even 47%.

Given that consumption is proportional to the amount of CO2 produced, including emissions data are distorted by an average of 30%. So, not only consumers spend more for fuel than they are projected at the time of the car, but also the incentives or the imposition of tax on the consumption of CO2 will be calculated, therefore, not corresponding to the real level of pollution of the medium.

Now it's up to you, believe what is being said by the manufacturers, or investigate a little deeper if you feel important to know the actual consumption and pollution of your car or what you would want to buy.
