			CAR

For example, gasoline charges reduce profit, CO2 of 543kg more than 20,000 yen in a year! The car of TOP RUNNER standard is kind to the earth, and the family budget is saved, too.

The truck (gasoline and diesel both sides) equal to or less than car and vehicle gross weight 2.5t becomes TOP RUNNER standard. The energy consumption efficiency displays it at the mileage per fuel 1 (km/L). For example, in the case of a gasoline car (1,400kg), by 10,000km a year use, car (13.0km/L) of TOP RUNNER standard can save gasoline charges more than 20,000 yen when we compare a conventional car (10.0km/L), and there is CO2 reduction of 543kg.

(L=one liter)

Gasoline car
In the case of a car of vehicle 1,265kg - 1,516kg in weight

	Fuel costs	Gasoline consumption at 10,000km	Fuel charges (100 yen / L)
Before	10.0km/L	1,000L	100,000yen
TOP RUNNER stantard	13.0km/L	769L	76,900yen
Difference	3.0km/L	231L	23,100yen

Quantity of CO2 reduction
231Lx0.643kg-C/Lx44/12=543kg-CO2/year
The CO2 conversion value of gasoline was extracted from "Environmental Agency earth environment part report (1992)".

* I become advantageous more than gasoline charges 20,000 yen in a year.
* It contribute to 543kg a year CO2 reduction.

What is TOP RUNNER standard?

Electric appliance development is an important problem of energy-saving activity. They are programs to assume the energy consumption efficiency of 18 articles of machines it than performance of the most superior machinery among products as of each. Developers study the energy consumption efficiency of 18 articles of electric appliances. A program doing in performance more than performance of the most superior machinery soon is TOP RUNNER standard. As for the machinery, an energy consumption efficiency standard (TOP RUNNER standard) is set every size and ability, and, in each aim year, it is judged to be the achievement degree. It is a standard when you choose a product of energy saving high efficiency.

Specification machinery of energy saving method

* air-conditioner * fluorescent lamp appliance * television * VTR * electric refrigerator * electricity freezer * copying machine * computer * magnetic disk unit * car (gasoline diesel) * truck (gasoline diesel) * stove (gas stove and oil stove) * gas cooking machinery (gas movable cooking stoves) * gas warm water machinery * oil warm water machinery * electricity toilet seat (toilet bowl with warm water flush system for washing user / heating toilet seat) * vending machine (can-type bottle type) * transformer (the high pressure supply of electric power use)
