This in turn increases fuelconsumption and reduces the maximumspeed of the vehicle.When the vehicle is new, there is increasedfriction between the engine andtransmission components lasting forseveral thousand miles. This increases fuelconsumption.Fuel for petrol enginesCommercially available high-quality fuelwith a maximum ethanol content of 5 % asper DIN EN 228 (catalytic converter - seepage 102, octane numbers - seepage 163).
