How much fuel will a 1.8L car use...

[GearboxGeezer]

Heya..

Any predict how much fuel a 1.8l Sierra will use? I might be getting this car but I dont want to be spending £1322536457635636 a week on fuel.

[sagiliam]

depends how aggressively you drive....so my guess is £300000

[ram_doom]

It'll return about 30 mpg. Probably a bit less because its old carb will no doubt be rather past it. Bit of a guzzler really

Sorry.. Im not used to gallons

How much litres are in a gallon, its about 3 isnt it? So that will mean itll cost me about £90 to do 30 miles?

lol, ok thats not tooo bad then

Diesels tend to be a little cheaper. My 1.9 Xantia used to do around 550 miles for £60.

If it was on motorways, more.

My 1.4i Civic does between 55 and 80 miles to £10 depending on how i drive it.

I'd expect around 50 miles to £10 on an old sierra if driven sensibly.

About £60 to £10 if it's running as it should. Not the best cars in the world so unless it's free i'd look for something else. You can get some very cheap Mondeo's and ime they are the best cheap all rounder.

A) google knows all - https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=how+many+litres+in+a+uk+gallon&btnG=Search&meta=

B) Try having a look on parkers guide. Then add a bit for the age of the car.

Dom, for a 1.4 i would say that your car is running rather poorly if you only getting 250 mile to £40

my deisel costs me £50 to do 240 miles on the motor way at an average of 90mph

you really dont want to know what it costs around town, not even i want to really know that tbh.

3.1 trooper, but i must say in its defence it is usualy loaded to the roof with work tools, and under 90mph i can squeeze more out of it, it just doesnt like going so slow

my citroen 1.9td does about 430 to a tank around town, lots more on the motorway.
the sierra wont be too bad on fuel, but it wont really be very good either..dont forget you'll be paying nearly 200 quid a year road tax too!
if you want an economical car and its mostly town driving you do then get a metro or corsa 1.4 or something
