The fuel consumption of my 1999 Nissan Pulsar has at times over the last three years been around 10 L/100 km, which I think is high. It?s done 153,000 km, but runs great, and no faults have been found that might cause the fuel economy to be so high. Any suggestions?
When new Nissan claimed the 1.6-litre would do around 8.0 L/100 km and the 2.0-litre around 9.0 L/100 km, so the fuel consumption of your car is a little higher than it should be based on those numbers. But you have to consider your driving conditions, the terrain, the condition of the car, and the fact that the engine is now worn. Check the fuel and ignition systems to make sure all is well with them, I would also check the compression and make sure it’s on the mark as well.
