2002 KA 1.3 what mpg do they do ?

[driftdaddy]

evening folks, granted it's not the most exiting of threads but i've just bought one for the other half but have absolutely no idea what they are like on fuel.

as embaressing as it will be i can see myself useing it quite a bit as the bm struggles to get into the 20's

many thanks. dave

If it's the old engine, 43.

Try the Auto Trader MPG figures and take off about 20%

I've got an Escort with a slightly older evolution of the 1.3 pushrod engine that was in the early ones, and it gets an easy 40 odd mixed town and A road. Bizarrely that's only on BP fuel From Tesco 35ish consistent.

Got one at the minute not for long..

40 mpg - endura E pushrod engine.

Want to buy it.. Air Con, EW, PAS, RCL..

My old ka2 (with aircon) did about 45 average.

I did have it on fuel saver tyres though.

My other half's got one; it's a cracking little car.

Only does ~37mpg though which is a bit poor.

hmm i was hopeing for a bit more tbh but i cant complain as the petrol cheaper and it will still do over twice what the bm will do to the gallon.

cheers fellas

Have a Fiesta MK4 with a slightly older Endura-E engine, drive everywhere flat out more or less (only way to keep up with traffic), and get 38-42 mpg. According to Parkers, the Fiesta has a 40L tank, but I can only get about 31 in, which lasts about 260-300 miles.

My '02 Ka averaged 47mpg, though it was hardly ever in a traffic jam. I believe heavy traffic, and especially the air-con system really hurts the Ka.
