And sample size.

For comparison, on the Mirage forum, we've got 142 owners reporting 3569 fills over 1 million+ miles / 1.6m km.

When broken down by drivetrain type:

1.2L 5MT avg (69 cars) = 44.8 MPG (US) = 5.3 L/100 KM = 53.7 MPG (UK)
1.2L CVT avg (70 cars) = 41.2 MPG (US) = 5.7 L/100 km = 49.4 MPG (UK.)
1.0L 5MT avg (03 cars) = 45.1 MPG (US) = 5.2 L/100 KM = 54.2 MPG (UK)

Euro Mirages are doing better.

However, many of the Euro Mirages come with automatic engine stop/start, where the majority of cars in our (mostly North American) database don't.
