Trip together: 2015 Micra 4AT vs 2009 Versa CVT (fuel economy & odometer comparison)
I went to Sudbury with two cars and on our way back we stopped at Eagle Nest Gas Station just before North Bay and clocked both. Now both cars traveled together and fueled up again at the same place once back in Ottawa and compaired.
2015 Nissan Micra Auto 1.6L
2009 Nissan Versa CVT 1.8L
From Eagle Nest in North Bay
2015 Micra 19705km ODO
2009 Versa 102083km ODO
To Mac's in Orleans
2015 Micra 20149km ODO
2009 Versa 102506km ODO
Micra calculation
20149 - 19705 = 444 km
Filled 26.012L
5.858 L/100km
Versa calculation
102506 - 102083 = 423 km
Filled 28.717L
6.789 L/100km
CONCLUSION
The Versa travelled 21km less than the Micra
But the Micra burnt 2.705L less fuel than the Versa
Both cars travel together, has their recommended tire sizes on and have not separated in anyway.
