Which statement is true regarding the fuel consumption per kilometre for a petrol-driven car with a catalytic converter after a cold start?

  • Incorrect: It keeps increasing.
  • Incorrect: It is 900 times higher in the first first five kilometres compared to the subsequent five kilometres.
  • Correct: It is higher during short distances than long ones.
  • Incorrect: It is higher during long distances than short ones.
  • Incorrect: It remains the same regardless of the distance.

The short distances cause the most pollution per km. […] Petrol consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are 35% higher in the first 5 km, as a cold engine requires a “richer” fuel mix. During the first 5 km, the average car will consume as much as 0.14 litres/km.” (Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)

Note that the question is asking about the consumption per kilometre, i.e. an average. Over a longer distance, you will normally use more fuel overall, but not in terms of average consumption per kilometre.
