Hi, can you please tell me the fuel and running costs of a 1998 Mitsubishi Carisma 1.8L?

It's very difficult to say what the running cost would be for an old car such as this, as the major component of running cost is depreciation. We calculate running costs on a vehicle at the 3rd year of age, but obviously, a 16 year old car has already depreciated significantly, so your real running cost may be around half of our calculated rate.
However, our calculation for a 1.8 litre vehicle would be 64.2c per km.
