Hi there, Noddy!

We just got the current generation (K13) Micra back here in Canada as a 2015 model -- of course with only the highest displacement/power engine option - 1.6L) after a ~20 years gap since the first gen car was last sold here (K10, with only the 1.2L 4-cyl).

Is yours the weird one (K12) with the oval headlights up high on the front fenders/wings? I like that one.

achieved 419 miles on my last fill up (37 litres - not worked out the mileage)
Well, as daox pointed, it's 42 mpg US = 5.6 L/100 km = 51 mpg UK.

Not a bad start, but there's more where that came from if you want it.

Interested in aeromodding
I'd look at a partial grille block, smooth wheel covers, and an air dam. If you're up for some fabrication, I'd look into making a Kammback on the hatch as well.

Welcome to the forum!
