dangeestarlet Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi , going to buy a cheap uk auto starlet and was wondering what they're like on fuel compared to a manual? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Horrific, 190 miles to a full tank so around 25 MPG. It only has a 3 speed box so as you can imagine it's always high up the revs. They are a nice drive though if you can deal with the fuel consumption. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I haven't worked it out but mine doesn't seem that Good on fuel either tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangeestarlet Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not what I wanted to hear haha just thought it would nice to cruise to work in an auto lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieLewby Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 300 miles to a tank in a manual ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Get a micra, they have a good auto box as its constantly varying to lower the revs to a good torque level. i couldn't get my old k11 below 31/32mpg and i used to flat foot it everywhere and i mean everywhere. My old dear has always got 40/45mpg out of her 2 k12s shes had Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I always used to get about 300 or more from my old td05 gt. It's making me consider a manual conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 mpg was pretty bad on my old auto, but on motorways it was pretty good if driven sensibly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangeestarlet Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Picked it up yesterday and it drives so good being a auto I fell in love haha , only 40k on it drives like new but I need something good on fuel so might break it, I got a Micra 1.3 manual as a daily now but thought it would be nice to drive an auto for a change Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 they are pretty nice to drive and they are pretty nippy. but micras are fun i had one a while back as a daily, i paid peanuts for it but it had 200,000 miles and i gave 50,000 miles of death and i still sold it on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
