I'm not entirely sure, but I would guess upwards of 11 - 12 L/100km at a steady 160km/h, would vary if you are going up or down hill.

Yes it will have fuel consumption. Unless its not running, actually it will still have some, but just not as much.

Well then i can say mine gets good fuel consumption as it spends more time not running then it does running.

It would be very hard to give an accurate answer as that combination is fairly rare in Australia. But I know that there are a couple of people on this forum with them. Maybe Brickworx would know?

All 1275's use a fair bit of fuel comparatively.

Its not like watching the fuel gauge go down in front of you when you open all the butterflies on a big V8 but they do use fuel.

They are less economical that a similar sized later technology jap car.

As other have said ther are so many variables in giving an accurate estimation.
