In a Test Conducted by the Cars with Tiago Channel, the Uno Mille 1.0 Was Fueled with Just 2 Liters of Gasoline to Assess Its Performance in Real Road Conditions.
The Uno Mille 1.0, known for its reputation as an economical car, was the protagonist of a practical test conducted by Tiago, the creator of the “Cars with Tiago“.
The proposal was simple: fuel the vehicle with just 2 liters of gasoline and see how many kilometers it could cover with this limited amount of fuel. The experiment was conducted transparently, with all details recorded on video.
Start of the Challenge: Empty Tank and Odometer Zeroed
The test began with the car already on empty. Tiago and his partner decided to continue driving until the fuel ran out completely. The chosen vehicle was a 2013 Uno Mille 1.0.

The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.
Upon realizing that the car stopped due to lack of fuel, the two refueled the tank with exactly 2 liters of gasoline.
Next, they reset the odometer and began the journey to assess the car’s performance. The goal was to measure the model’s efficiency based on a practical situation, without laboratory resources.
Test Conditions Were Defined to Ensure Balance
Throughout the journey, specific conditions were maintained to ensure a result that was truer to reality.
Two people were on board the car. The air conditioning remained off, and the speed was kept between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, on a predominantly highway route.
These factors are important as they directly influence fuel consumption.
The use of air conditioning, for example, can increase the engine’s effort and consequently raise consumption. Maintaining a steady speed on the highway tends to favor fuel economy.
Uno Mille Surprises with Positive Results
After the journey, the odometer recorded 35 kilometers covered with the 2 liters of gasoline. This represents an average consumption of 17.5 km/liter.
The performance reinforced the reputation that the Uno Mille has carried since it was produced.
Considered one of the most economical models in the national market, Fiat’s compact car was, for many years, the choice for those needing a low-maintenance vehicle, with affordable parts and excellent fuel efficiency.
Chosen Model Has a History of Good Results
The Uno Mille 1.0 2013 used in the experiment belongs to the final production phase of the model with the Fire engine.
This engine has always been known for its simplicity and low consumption.
Even without more modern features, such as direct injection or cylinder deactivation systems, the car still delivers a good balance between consumption and performance.
The curiosity about the Uno’s performance with just 2 liters of gasoline shows how strong the interest in fuel economy still is among Brazilians, even with the rise of hybrid and electric cars.
In times of expensive fuel, knowing that a car can travel over 17 km per liter is eye-catching.
Result Reinforces the Reputation of the Uno Mille
The test conducted by influencer Tiago showed that the Uno Mille 1.0, even after years since production ceased, still lives up to its reputation as an economical car.
With 2 liters of gasoline, the model managed to cover 35 km in normal road conditions, with two people on board and without using the air conditioning.
This result, of 17.5 km per liter, helps maintain the image of the Uno as a viable option for those seeking low costs per kilometer traveled.
Although there are more modern models with fuel-saving technologies, the classic Mille still demonstrates strength when it comes to consumption efficiency.


Gostei e é isso mesmo muito bom.
Eu tive um Fiat uno 2008, e fazia 15km/l no etanol e 21 km/l na gasolina. Circuito misto, cidade estrada, motor fire 1.0 flex.
Ainda não consigo entender porque a fiate descontinuou esse modelo, carro robusto, esse foi meu primeiro carro., achava ele fragil, mas depois que comprei um vi a robustez dele, carro sensacional..
Ele foi descontinuado por conta do custo alto para adequa-lo as novas regulamentações de emissões e segurança. Como air-bag, sistema abs que hoje são obrigatórios.
Logo esse carro vai pra 50mil
