When broken down by drivetrain type:

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. |
Had a look through the data for the Mirage 1.0 and only 5% of the cars have the stop start. It is only in the last year that you could actually buy a stop start 1.0.
In the second post of this thread I have now added a table to show the percentage difference between actual real world consumption and the official claimed NEDC combined consumption for several 1.0 lit 3 cylinder non hybrid cars.
