I have the car listed above with a 12 valve EFI engine with a capacity of 1.3lt. The dashboard indicator for "economy" is always green, even though I press on the accelerator as far as it goes. This would not let me get the fuel efficiency of the car. Can anyone help me solve this?

Hello,

The economy light is the drive setting that is used to maximize the efficiency of the vehicle.
There should be a button on the center console that you will be able to press to take it out of the economy mode.

Can you upload a few pictures of the dash and the console? I want to see if I can locate that for you.

Thank you.
