seansparco Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hi everyone i got my 2004 Mondeo LX 2.0 about 3 months ago, when i first got it, it had no go past 4,000 RPM and was getting a average of 28 MPG, I worked out that it was the fuel pump that was the issue so i had it replaced for a new one along with a new fuel filter. But no matter how easy i drive the car i am getting 30 MPG. I have also noticed that when i put petrol in it the distance till empty is way out. E.G. 230 miles till empty but i will only get about 100 to 120 miles. I have tried resetting the ECU by disconnecting the battery over night and it didn't make a difference. Is this normal for MPG? Car someone help me out with this as i am thinking of selling it dew to the low MPG. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Petrol or diesel? If petrol I would say that is about right, 30mpg average. My 1.8 focus isn't much better Sent from my Gen 1 WAP phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 It isn't far off, to be honest. I'd have expected something more like 34, or so, but that isn't a massive difference, and it also depends on a number of other things such as driving conditions, driving style, tyres, tracking, oil, etc, as well as the engine itself.
