Welcome aboard.... sometimes it takes a little while for a new topic to get replied to, as the AL community is online at all different times of the day... so there isnt much need to create two versions of the same topic mate

anyway, in order to answer your question better, kindly tell us whether your car has a Manual or Auto Gearbox, and also the current fuel consumption..... as March's are not always as economical as people sometimes imagine.

Im not 100% sure, but I think this topic has been discussed before, Try doing a Search for it as well....

Cheers

I've heard from many owners that the 1.0 is thirstier than the 1.3. We had a 1.3 Bolero auto in our company. And the lady who used it (daily driven from Negombo and back) got 11km/l.

Nissan March is NOT good on fuel. Some cars does low as 8 kmpl. Specielly 1000cc auto models.

This is rather unfortunate but there is nothing much you can do about it dude. I advice you to stop wasting money

trying to improve fuel consumption ... if you are too much worried, better to replace your car.

1300cc version seems to do better.

I own a 2001 march 1000cc auto ... does only about 9 - 9.5 kmpl. Hope this helps.

Some tips to improve Fuel efficiency. This worked for me.

1. Replace your old AirFilter with Genunine Nissan March Air Filter (Don't put fake parts which put by Service stations)

2. Properly inflate tyres

3. Alloy wheels consume more fuel

4. Service your A/C system

5. Use better brand of Engine Oil (Mobil or Castrol)
