Micra 1.6 real world fuel economy / mileage reports from owners
Below are fuel economy reports from Micra 1.6L drivers gathered from around the web.
Update, June '14: some new threads with reports from forum members/owners driving the 2015 Micra...
Here are a number of owner reports from Brazil and Europe found on YouTube and other sources.
(Interestingly, the 1.6 only comes with the 5-speed manual transmission in Brazil -- http://www.nissan.com.br/#carros%2Fmarch)

real world mileage from Versa sedan 1.6L owners: exact same average as Euro Micra 1.6
Same drivetrain as the Canadian Micra: these reports are from 2012-2014 Versa 1.6L sedans, mostly in the U.S.
Note: only manual results are given, because Fuelly doesn't distinguish between 4-speed automatic and CVT's, which makes those figures no good.

Noteable: the average manual driver is handily beating the EPA's rating for the 1.6L Versa of 30 mpg (US) combined.
Also - notice they're getting an identical average as the 1.6L Micra (K12) drivers, above.
UPDATE: here's an average for 14 Versa sedans with "Automatic" specified. Note it doesn't specify 4-speed or CVT though:

The manual drivers are beating the car's EPA rating by 19%. The Automatic drivers are only over by 9%.
Versa Note 1.6 real world numbers
I was going to dig through Fuelly to see what kinds of numbers the 1.6L 5-speed drivers were getting (should be very close to Micra numbers).
But that site drives me nuts. If there's no transmission listed, we can't really use the numbers. And the only ones that ARE listed are automatic (which is CVT only in the Note, so not comparable to the Micra).
I'll go check over at fueleconomy.gov. Some owners report there, too...
