Asked by Gurdeep Bhatti
I'M GETTING 12.5 litres/100km from my 1993 Nissan Pulsar 1.6-litre, which has 261,000km on the clock. It seems a bit excessive. What do you think?
Answered by CarsGuide
19 Feb 2010I'D EXPECT it do 8.5-9.5 litres/100km around town, a little less on the highway. Check the spark plugs and leads to make sure they are in top shape and replace if necessary. Change the air filter if it hasn't been changed in a while. Run fuel-system cleaner through it, and take the car for a long run on the highway, with some hard acceleration to blow out accumulated carbon in the engine. The engine could also be down on compression, so check that too.
