...k11 nissan micra 1.0 16v dohc petrol? its a 1999 Nissan Micra 1.0 16 dohc inspiration 3dr,i was curoius of what range (mpg) i get from it as its small,so i did fill it up for £60!! to the brim litrelly until it started coming out for a micra this is outrageous but then again it has got a tank of approx 40-42litres and petrol is £134.9!!,yeah so now my reserve light came on so i roughly had 2 litres left and i had clocked up in total on that tank 360 miles on roughly 38-40 litres of petrol i have been driving it sensibly 80% and 20% not,so i should easy achieve 380miles if driven sensibly all the way may be even 400miles
 
All of that waffle with the figures means nothing as you have not worked out the mpg.
Assuming you are correct and used 39 litres to go 360 miles then that was 8.6 gallons so thats near as makes no difference 42 to the gallon.
For its age thats not too bad but I would say it would have done more when new.
The new Micra which is only available with a 1.2 will do 56 mpg but technology in engines has moved on these past 12 years
 
Why are you asking the same question 3 different ways - the answer will be much the same, plus people will see your signature and not answer the later questions. Its an old car and its not going to get the advertised mileage (not that most of them do............)
 
In the USA we may soon be driving cars Like Micra as we fall back to third world and the economy collapses. Several factors the car is 13 model years old and technology has advanced. Now a direct injected 1.0 liter motor can have over 100 hp and almost 30% better fuel economy. Tire type and pressure the way the car is driven how smooth the body work is aerodynamic the older micra was not as smooth as a 2005 1.2 or 1.4 version
