The Fuel Consumption of the Peugeot 208

It is time to make a conversation about the fuel consumption of the Peugeot 208. We are going to focus on engine types and make an analysis on them for proper results on fuel consumption analysis. We are going to use two main categories which are; The Most Economical One and The Most Powerful One. We are using this method to make it an easy decision for you to choose right type of engine while choosing the best car. Peugeot 208 has four standard engine types which are; 1.0, 1.2, 1.6 and 1.6 HDi. Let’s start with the most economical one which is; 1.6 HDi. It is a four cylindered, 1560 cm3 sized, Diesel type engine which produces 99 Horsepower and 3750 RPM Torque. According to the official factory data, 1.6 HDi has got a 3.6lt/100km (which refers to 78 MPG in UK) MPG Rate in Urban usage. However, this MPG Performance decreasing to 2.7lt/100km (which refers to 104 MPG in UK) in Extra Urban usage such as; Highways or Long Distance Trip. When we combine these two factory data we get a 3.0lt/100km (which refers to 94 MPG in UK) average MPG rate. Secondly, we are going to talk about the most powerful one which is; 1.6. It is a four cylindered, 1598 cm3 sized, Petrol type engine which produces 165 Horsepower and 6000 RPM Torque. 1.6 has got a 7.1lt/100km (which refers to 40 MPG in UK) fuel consumption rate in Urban usage. On the other hand, this fuel consumption performance decreasing to 4.6lt/100km (which refers to 61 MPG in UK) in Extra Urban usage.
