CharlieUK Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have a 56 plate Fiesta Freedom 1.25 with an average mpg of 29.5. I drive on normal roads in and around town and traffic, I change gears at 2500 rpm and drive at the speed limit, Max speed on roads 55 mph. Just wondering what others are getting out of their Fords and any tips as I think I could do better. :-D Sent from my Hudl HT7S3 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 each car is different, but to be honest, if you wanted more from your motor you could simply reset it. If you have the radio code, you can just disconnect the battery for a half hour or so, then when you start driving, drive as you normally would. It then optimises for your driving style and can give you a better return! If you do this after a good service, you get better results still!

CharlieUK Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 I reset the ECU unit today, forgot to mention that I have a black box installed for insurance purposes, that died but should be back up again now. MPG so far with 14 miles is 31.5, hope it stays above 29.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazbo85 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've got a 1.6 diesel c-max I'm averaging between 57-62 in rush hour traffic I love it. People say my right foot is as light as a feather and that's mixed roads aswell doing 15 miles each way to work daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieUK Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wondering if changing to a branded fuel instead of supermarket, been putting Asda fuel in, although it should make no difference at all, I drive with at most 1/2 a tank. Would love to finD out from another fiesta owner as even my friend who drives a 4WD camper van admits that's low for a 1.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
