Abstract

Abstract Fuel consumption of different automobiles is offered in standard conditions, as European Cycle. It is interesting to assess fuel consumption in heavy traffic conditions and in extreme high air temperatures. Paper analyses real heavy jammed traffic situations in Bucharest and surroundings.
