hi all just got a new ford fiesta 1.6 tdci econetic ii


what mpg should i be getting ????

and how many miles to a full tank ????

[b1g_dav3]

At new 50 - 60 in an Eco is probably average until run in, just bare in mind diesel's take a good running in (10k+). I'm now getting 68 in my Zetec S diesel after 18k (since about 9k)

Really depends on how far you are going with your average journey.

I've had 65 out of the standard 1.6 TDCi [95], lifetime average is 58.

Never had more than 53mpg out of mine now done 18000 miles averaging 47 think someone's swapped mine with a petrol engine

[davidjohnlavell]

how many miles to a full tank are people getting

[sambooka]

400 ish for me I always fill up when it comes up 50 miles left normally takes about 38 litres.
I am of the opinion there is something wrong with mine though its just convincing ford

[b1g_dav3]

Lol, usually like 400, when I said I'm getting 68mpg, I meant I did that on 1 journey, up until the point where I decided to go over some moorland. Unfortunately, I find it difficult not to do 80 on motorways and such. Perhaps the only redeeming factor is I don't really use breaks to slow down, usually use gears and usually shift at 2K rpm.

Have had a problem lately though of not being able to get more than 50mpg though with the last 2 fill ups, one with Tesco fuel (which I'll never use again) and the other with BP Ultimate, hoping this fill up might be back to normal after a new water pump and timing belt. Trouble is I take it to Ford and get a 1.2 that won't even fetch 35mpg -.-

_{i think 400 is is the norm my avearage on the computer 56-70 ish and miles ledt i had it on 470 on A road not sure how ture it is}

[sambooka]

It's strange that I seem to have the worst mpg for a diesel 47mpg and still get 400 to a tank the same as everyone else who get more like 55-60

[iNath]

I get 500-525 out of a tank.

[davidjohnlavell]

500 - 525 is yours a econetic as well

[sambooka]

I get 500-525 out of a tank.

Yes but you never do more than 55 I cruise on the motorway at 70 or on country roads at 60 ish

[davidjohnlavell]

i had 65-71 ish on the computer for ave mileage the other day

[iNath]

Yes but you never do more than 55 I cruise on the motorway at 70 or on country roads at 60 ish
