Where Can I Find Fuel Consumption Information?
You can learn about the all of Ford's new vehicle specifications, including fuel consumption, by selecting the model on Ford's All Vehicles page.
Ford ensures that every new vehicle sold and registered in Australia complies with the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989. The Act applies to new and used imported vehicles and locally manufactured vehicles. The Act requires vehicles to meet national standards covering safety and environmental requirements. These national standards are known as the Australian Design Rules (ADRs).
All Ford vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) sold in Australia are tested in accordance to Australian Design Rule (ADR) 81/02. This ADR ensures that all vehicles sold in Australia are tested to the same standards and using the same methods, and the results published by the manufacturer are in an easy to read format via the Fuel Consumption Label stuck to the windscreen of new vehicles. Externally chargeable (electric and ‘plug-in’ hybrid) vehicles have an energy consumption label, which also provides information on their electric energy consumption and range.
Consumers can compare the fuel consumption and emissions performance of different makes and models of vehicles by comparing the data on the Fuel Consumption Label. Be aware that the figures on this label don’t necessarily mean that the driver of the vehicle will achieve that exact level of fuel economy or emissions performance. Being a standardised test, the idea is that the consumer can compare many different vehicles allowing them to make an informed choice prior to purchase. However, many factors can affect the individual fuel economy figures your vehicle will actually achieve – driving style, vehicle loading, tyre type and tyre pressure, wind direction, traffic conditions and even what accessories you have had fitted to the vehicle.
