Peugeot 306 Official Fuel Economy Figures

The Peugeot 306 range is known as a reliable and fuel efficient car to run. In the UK petrol models with an engine size of less than 1.5 litres attract a reduced rate of road tax so the Peugeot 306 1.4 petrol is not only fuel efficient but cheap to tax and insure.

If you need a very fuel efficient Peugeot 306 then you should consider the Peugeot diesel engine range. The Peugeot 306 Dturbo was fitted with a 1.9 litre turbocharged diesel engine which is not only efficient to run but also reasonably quick with a power output of 92bhp. Peugeot 306 diesel models were also offered with a reliable but sluggish 1.9 naturally-aspirated diesel engine producing 70bhp. Later models in the 306 range include the Peugeot 306 HDi which uses an extremely efficient common-rail diesel engine producing 90bhp.

Peugeot turbo-diesel engines are rumoured by some to be detuned at the factory, and Peugeot 306 diesel tuning is a popular and easy DIY tuning process that can yield both better fuel economy and higher bhp output from the mechanical 306 turbocharged diesel engine.

For everyone who asks and anyone else that's just curious here's a table of the fuel economy figures as stated by Peugeot in the 306 owners manual. Engine and gearbox types are listed below, economy figures are miles per gallon (m.p.g.) and CO2 emissions are g/kg (by weight).
