Mk6 Fiesta - Poor Mpg

[BenMK6]

Hello everyone.

I bought a Ford Fiesta MK6 recently (55 Plate) with 30 thousand miles on it. I haven't yet completely filled the tank, but I've put £20 in it several times. I'm getting roughly 130 miles out of £20, which is 17/18 litres at £1.17 which equates to roughly 34 MPG. I think this is pretty poor in all honesty and I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with it. However, it drives great and it was recently serviced. I don't drive it particularly fast but most of my driving is round town.. stopping/starting alot etc.

What do you think guys?

Thanks!

Ben

I wouldnt class that as too bad MPG !

Do you drive with a slightly heavy right foot by any chance?
