Fiorino van takes fuel economy title
November 2011 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
A new Fiat Fiorino Cargo van has more than proved its miserly fuel claims, winning the best mpg title in the ALD Automotive Shell FuelSave mpg Marathon.

Fiorino van takes fuel economy titleThe 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel 75 Euro 5 van returned 82.96mpg over the economy test's 370-mile course, using less than four and a half gallons to take the title. Interestingly, its overall mpg figure was 26.27% better than the official combined figure for the van.

"I was really impressed that the Fiorino was able to achieve over 80mpg on a tough route that included plenty of steep hills, heavy traffic and strong headwinds," comments driver John Kerswill. "It's a great little van to drive, too."

Paul Godden, brand manager for Fiat Professional says: "We know the Fiorino Cargo is an economical van to own and drive, so it's great news when our claims are proved so conclusively."
