I used to average 47-48 driving fairly normally in mine when it was a stock 1.3/5 speed. Best was 53.

Switched to the 1.6 16v turbo/5 speed and averaged 36 I think, with a best north of 45.

Switched to the 1.8 16v turbo/5 speed and was lucky to get 30. At that point the car became a toy. Ridiculous power for such a small car.

Now I have one with the 1.8 16v, no turbo, but automatic, and can't hit 30 anymore.

Typically the stock automatic 1.3 cars will average 32-36 mpg. Maybe 40 mpg with some hypermiling. Just too many rpm's with no overdrive or lockup. The 5 speed is key to mpg.
