Russ 6334 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi all, finally ditched my V70 due to 27mpg from a diesel! And gone back to ford buying my 3rd mondeo this time a 2011 140ps tdci estate what is the mpg people are getting? I filled up 61 litres and computer said 461 miles till empty that works out to be about 34mpg which seems worryingly low when people here have said 650 to a tank? my last 52 plate mondeo estate 130ps did 53mpg all town driving short journeys and never warm! Have I bought a Volvo in disguise? Admittedly I haven't used a tank yet only done about 15 miles and the computer has only dropped about 10 miles so maybe it will get better but 34mpg seems low its just been serviced and I'm going to terraclean it next month thanks russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaskell71 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 mk4 Mondeo 2008 onwards and I'm getting 33mpg, which is poor to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Don't forget that the tank range depends on the avg mpg, so if it's just done a lot of small/town work then yes it will be low, watch that figure go up on a run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzincha Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Question to mondeo mk5 owners: Does heated windscreen in front(if present) and back automatically on when t gets below 4 degrees. Just discovered this on focus "15 made. This thing takes mpg down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last mondeo had this also, it draws a matter of milliamps you would never even notice the extra fuel from this it's so minute. have done 80 miles now the computer still reads 420 and started at 460 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It not milliamperes it's several amps hence it's not working if the engine is not running and yes the extra load does affect the mpg but hard to notice as it cuts off after x minutes time I don't know as I cancel as soon as screen has cleared.

Tomson Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Same engine in my Volvo C30 - pants for mpg but good running and power. Max I ever saw on a long run was 51 - 37-39 I averaged usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 All newer Fords from Zetec and above have the Quickclear screen. Guessing your Mums Fiesta is a Studio/Style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
