Miles to the gallon/litre in a micra (or corsa, ka, clio)?

Question

Considering purchasing a 2001 Nissan Micra, and wondering about running costs. Does anyone know approximately how many miles to the litre (or gallon) I can get in a micra? Or for that matter in a ford ka, vaxhaul corsa or renault clio?

Thanks for your help :)

Answer 1

Go to Parkers car guide web site it will tell you mpg insurance group top speed the lot.

Answer 2

It's not that you have to think about it's emissions, back dated.

Answer 3

All the cars you've listed are all pretty good. If you're really worried about fuel consumption then it might be worth considering a diesel rather than a petrol engined car. The Peugeot 206 1.4 HDI would beat all the cars you've listed.

Best way to find out is to look at a website like Auto Trader which advertises similar cars & has a "technical data" option on most ads. It will show MPG, insurance group, road tax etc.

Answer 4

I think you must expect the use of fuel to be average 0.6litre pr 10km. Nissan micra is a small car so it economic with the fuel. But city traffic is slow, so I expect my tip is serious.

You must also remember that the engine is a little old. It was better new.

Answer 5

You should get 30 to 35 MPG from a micra or similar car.

Answer 6

all i can tell u for sure is my fiesta tdci does 65 mpg around town and a years tax is 35 pounds.

Answer 7

A 2001 Micra should average about 46mpg , regardless of whether it's the 1.0 or 1.1 engine. It's by far the best choice, far better built & more reliable than your other suggestions.

A Ford Ka of the same age would return about the same economy, but they're very small, poorly built & unreliable.

Corsas are much better than Fords, economy varies as there's a big choice of petrol & diesel engines - the same applies to Clios.
