hello all i am thinking of purchasing a neibours 1990 xr3i but have searched the internet but cannot find much in the way of what i can expect from an xr3i as regards fuel consumtion.

so can any owners please give me some idea of what i might expect as regards mpg .

thank you

 

not sure about mpg but mine used to do about 250 miles on 30 quid, i thought that was quite good cuz it used to get a bashing! hope this helps,

 

yup they are quite good on petrol

 

yep,i sometimes get 30-35 mpg,n thats givin it some at times aswell

 

mitchy buy mine though

 

thanks all re mpg

gives me some idea of what to expect ,i happened to speak to someone this morning who owns f reg xr3i convertable they reconed at a rough guess of 25-28 mpg was a bit concerned about 25 mpg

thanks again

 

My 1.6i used to be very good on fuel. 33-36mpg on a run.

 

nah they will do more than 25 mpg easy tell him to take it for a tune up

 

thanks all slightly of topic a few years back i owned a citroen ax gt which i purchsed new quite good on mpg about 38 mainly moterway driving so fithe gear often used.

at the time i borrowed the firms 1.4 orion to pick up some goods, but found that acceleration in fithe gear was non existant compared to my citroen, is the fords fithe gear a very high ratio??

a friend had escort 1300/1400 we went on moterway noticed in fithe the revs were very low.

thank you

 

Mine was alright on petrol too mate, wasn't at all actually!

Get one, there a cheap fun car!

 

if your worried about fuel in an xr3i you should stick to push bikes mate

all the xr3i`s ive had have been ok on fuel mate so stop thinking and just buy it

why not you just ask the neibour whos car it is what its like on fuel????
