Car CO2 emissions

Car Fuel Consumption

This website intends to give individuals an informed choice when buying a new or used car. It lists the fuel consumption, CO2, and other emissions performance figures of most cars, currently on the market in the UK and for the last 10 years.

Cars make a significant contribution to overall emissions of CO2 in the UK. Additionally, and especially in urban areas, road transport is also one of the major sources of emissions which are harmful to human health.

Climate Change, often referred to as Global Warming, is considered to be one of the greatest environmental threats facing the World today. When petrol, diesel or certain alternative fuels are burnt for energy in an engine the main by-products are water and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). CO2, although not directly harmful to human health, is the most significant of the greenhouse gases contributing to Climate Change.
