mobily Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi all A quick introduction. Just bought a 2009 Ford Focus Zetec Petrol in dark grey.12000 miles on the clock. I look forward to sharing opinions with you all. First impressions - Drives really smoothly and handles well. A little slow off the mark in 1st gear and seems thirsty. Drove to Bristol and back yesterday (240 miles) doing a steady 75mph and the trip computer says 39mpg. In the process of doing a brim calculation but looks like in reality it was about 34mpg by seeing the miles left before I need to refuel! Will let you know how it goes.

NorthSussex Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi, Welcome, B) I drive a 2009 1.8 petrol, (you didn't give your engine cc), my on board computer is measuring very similar to the full tank to full tank mpg; on a long trip I get about 40 mpg short trips and about 37 mpg, no problems with the performance, better than my 2ltr petrol Mondeo I last had.

mobily Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi North Sussex! Sorry, my engine is a 1.6. Don't get me wrong it handles very well and is extremely comfortable! I just thought I'd get a better mpg on a 200 mile run. I'll know more when I finish the brim calculation. How do you do smileys? Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
