The whole car should be roughly the same as that Laser.Were you getting better economy in the Ford!

Oh about same I guess its good as I have the top model
Steel sliding sunroof , air cond , better sound deading etc etc so a wee bit more weight I guess. plus all my driving is done at night the headlights pop up and this must cause more drag ! when i stick my hand out top of roof it can be felt - multiply that by a area of say600x400=2 headlights it must make a diff!

I'm guessing its a manual! Seems a bit high to me - my auto corona 2l gets around 7.4l per 100km, which is a bit less in a car with more weight and a bigger engine. Edit: You running on 95! fuel injected I'm guessing too!

Those Astina's are always thirsty. I don't know exactly why, as the other posters say there is some comparative logic to suggest they should be better. but from what I have seen anyhow, in practice they suck the juice.

i had a mazda astina GT (1800 DOHC). they are always pigs around town, not too bad on the open road tho. $90 to fill, gets from wanganui to dargaville on a tank provided i dont hit rush hour in auckland

my 1.5 Litre Astina can do about 600ks ( Invercargill to Dunedin and back), and uses up just over half a tank, which is pretty good I thought, considering they have reasonably small tanks

well, unless the distance between Dunedin and Invercargill has changed in the last few years, then it aint b.s
