Could you please give me an estimate of the fuel usage (litres/100 km) of my 1993 1300cc suzuki swift? I'm trying to work out reimbursement costs. Thanks

In real world combined cycle driving conditions, I'd estimate around 8l/100km. Bear in mind that running costs involve more than just fuel consumption. The AA rate for a 1.3 litre car is 58.1c per km, however this is based on a newer car where depreciation is a major factor, so your car may only be about half that figure.
