The value of these characteristics is represented by petals shown in the display, with five petals being the most efficient. The more efficiently you drive, the better the rating, and the better your vehicle's overall fuel economy. Note: These efficiency values do not result in a defined fuel consumption figure. Itmight vary as it is not only related to these driving habits, but also influenced by many other factors such as short trips and cold starts.
