2010 Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion, the second generation of this trendsetter, with a combined fuel consumption of just 3.3 liters diesel (equivalent to 87 g/km CO2!) per 100 kilometers, is aiming to become the “3-litre fuel economy car” of the modern era and the most economical five-seater in the world. Its 45 litre fuel tank enables a theoretical driving range of 1,363 kilometers! This makes the commute to work, driving holiday or long weekend affordable again. A person driving from Hanover – the site of the press presentation for the new Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion – to Venice can cover the 1,148 kilometer journey for just 40 Euros in fuel costs. That is because 100 kilometers cost just 3.50 Euros in the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion. Another measure of cost effectiveness: according to the German Federal Bureau of Statistics, the average German car driver covers a total of 11,000 kilometers per year. For VW Polo BlueMotion owners this means that they only require eight fill-ups per year at a fuel cost of 385 Euros.
