captain 47 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hello everyone just joined owners club, have recently bought new zetec s fiesta colour race red. Having just sold my diesel zetec s which averaged 50 plus to the gallon at the moment I am getting only 42 to the gallon not yet done 1000 miles so have to be patient as Ford say you need to run a 1000 miles before improvement. I often wonder what Trading Standards make of car manufacturers fuel economy claims any comments thanks. Regards Captain 47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiestaZS90150 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Welcome i had a tdci before and now own a ZS. if you took the cruise control use it. it makes a hell of a difference. I mostly do motorways. i can go by back roads too work... (10km less than buy motorway). The fuel consumption was cut in half with using cruise control on motorway. ( 60km to go and 60 back). Im at 1000 km Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
