New FIAT 1.6 Multijet Under 120g/km 6 Feb 2008 (News)
In addition to revised engine ECU settings, this ‘Eco’ pack employs special measures to optimise aerodynamics, and incorporates low rolling resistance tyres and ‘taller’ gear ratios to return some outstanding fuel consumption and CO2 figures: 62.7 mpg in the combined cycle (an increase of some 5 mpg on the standard 105 bhp 1.6 MultiJet) and CO2 emissions of just 119 g/km. This latter figure will assist in Fiat Group’s pledge to be the leading manufacturer in terms of weighted average CO2 levels.
