The Toyota Tazz 1.3 is known for its practical and relatively efficient fuel consumption, considering its era and engine design. According to independent road test data, the average fuel consumption for the Tazz 1.3 is approximately 9.24 litres per 100 km, which is consistent with user reports and slightly better than some previous figures for earlier models[1]. Real-world user submissions on owner tracking websites indicate a typical range of 28 to 35 miles per gallon (mpg) depending on model year and driving conditions; this translates roughly to 8 to 10 litres per 100 km[2].
Urban fuel consumption can be significantly higher, reported at up to 14.35 litres per 100 km under city driving conditions, while highway driving improves efficiency to about 7.8 litres per 100 km[4]. Owners on automotive forums frequently report values around 9 litres per 100 km for mixed driving cycles, which aligns with the figures cited in automotive reviews[5][6].
Some reports highlight that figures below 10 km per litre (or above 10 litres per 100 km) are considered high for this model, possibly indicating mechanical issues or suboptimal maintenance[3]. Thus, fuel consumption can vary based on maintenance, driving habits, and urban versus highway use, but the average owner should expect somewhere between 8 and 10 litres per 100 km for a well-maintained Tazz 1.3.
