TTomek Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Does anybody drive 1.6 petrol automat? What is your fuel consumption? My one (2006) takes 11.7 litre/100km in town which is way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulkp Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 We drive a 1.6 petrol, but a manual - we get about 43mpg - I'll have to remember the conversion factor ! I think that works out about 7litre/100k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulkp Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 We have the same engine, again with a manual box, in a 2007 Zetec S Fiesta, and we get about 40mpg - 7 litre/100k. Despite the Fiesta being lighter, it has a lower final drive ratio, so revs are higher for same road speed. My wife predominately drives the Fusion, and I drive the Fiesta - that might also account for the Fiesta using more fuel ! I think Fusion is an underated car, Small on the outside, big on the inside, with a boot like a box, with a low flat load floor, ideal for Mum in law's wheeler, Zimmerframe and wheelchair!

Ffred Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Er, yes. That is why the they punish us with £260 tax! Having had mine for most of this year, I've been wondering if something can be done about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffred Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Actually, the fuel consumption is quite good if I drive over 50 mph when the torque convertor lock up engages so a lower engagement speed would help. By the way, does yours have a lock up in 3rd gear as stated, as mine does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulkp Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I also posted this topic last month - what pressures do you use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffred Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 29/26 is what I use and what the handbook says. Any more and it gets even bumpier than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayleask Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I have a Petrol Fusion with a 1600cc engine and auto box. Around town I get 33mpg, on a long run involving motorways I get 41mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEECEE Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi! Haven't logged in for ages and just saw this post. My Fusion 2006 1.6 Zetec Auto does 28.1 to 28.3 mpg max - Annoying but it has been this way for 5 years, runs smoothly, sails through MOT emissions. Regularly serviced and all filters changed - doesnt make any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
