My New Micra (Red Alert SV automatic, Hamilton)

[Antruby]

You WASH your cars? Personally, I prefer my cars to have nice thick protective layer of grime.

I wunder if people are like you Aftica and have a layer of grime on their Micra so I can't see them. Over five weeks since I have had my Micra and never seen one yet. Do they only come out at night on roads that don't have lights so I can't see them? May be that they are far away looking for Blinker Fluid.

hehehe I can hardly see mine in the driveway! It's starting to take on a real nice Urban Patina. A few bullet holes, a little graffiti, and I'm invisible anywhere.

I have not seen a single Micra driving around either.

Really? 4.3 would be astonishingly good!

How fast do you typically cruise on the highway?

Never seen 4.3 since. Last five full tanks have been 5.4

Wow! Six weeks today since I got the new Micra and already six thousand klm. That was 352.01 L for 6000 klm. Plus the full tank from the dealer.

Wow - that's a lot of driving. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you lease the car... isn't there a cost for going over km?!

Woo, Antruby is packing on the kilometers. I'm glad to hear the Micra is treating you well and you're loving it. Thanks for all the updates.

This is true and less for Micra.(80,000 for Micra but it was 96,000 for Rogue) Car is so good I might just buy it at the end of lease.

If we dismiss the first tank, that works out to 5.9L/100km. If we add in 41L, it's around 6.55L/100km, except you didn't burn through all 41L. My guess is that you're probably averaging somewhere around 6.3L/100km. Way better than the EPA estimates, but there's definitely something wrong with how the Micra calculates average mileage.

I started with a full tank from the dealer and put 352.01L in after 6,000 Km (That was filled to the top again after the 6,000 Km)

So, 5.9 then. We can dismiss the first tank if you filled it and include that to the total amount you put in along with the mileage at that point. Very nice.
