    Fuel Consumption Trebled O/Night

    Oh and having moved from a Toyota Landcruiser to a Nissan Micra and travelling a 1000km per week the car has paid for itself in fuel savings many times over. Every panel on the car is dead straight except for a small scratchy dent on the drivers rear which I will eventually fix up with a bit of...

    Fuel Consumption Trebled O/Night

    Fuel Consumption Trebled O/Night

    I have lurked for a while but this is my first post as I have had no problems at all over the last 12 months with my $800 Micra. I live in the Adelaide Hills and the car is driven over 1000km every week. Fuel consumption has been beautiful. The gauge rarely gets under a quarter as every time the...
