To many wrong points in this thread…

The ka is not shit

And

The sr has no torque.

Gas mileage depends on a lot of things other than which engine.

Just got 687 to a tank from my 91 KA. Went to Windsor all the way doing 140, 2 passengers and came back doing 120 with 3 passengers and full trunk.

I could have gotten more, but I had to fill up since there were no more gas stations after that point. So I would say…she gets around 800km to a tank or maybe even 900 if you are doing 100 all the way.

the ka is better on gas not by much but is better. for 1 if its stock u can pump 89 or just regular and ur fine. for the sr itll run on 89 but very crappy so ull pump supreme. and it costs more but millage wise they are similar.

I get shit mileage on my KA. Checked almost everything, it still wants to run rich.

6-8km/L with mostly highway driving. This means 350-420km per tank, or in other words 16-19mpg.

Edit: Just a warning, this thread might turn into a KA vs. SR for other purposes than just gas mileage, and then there will be shitloads of misinformation, don’t take anything about KA’s seriously from most SON members. Go to [KA-T.org](http://KA-T.org). Do proper research.
