D3MENT3D Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 As the title above says, just wondering how much MPG everyone else gets as I bought a economical 1.4 56(2007) fiesta Zetec and on my 8-10 mile commute mostly motorway but barely hit traffic I'm averaging 32.4mpg. Just wondering if this is average for the car and year, as I know a few cars that I could have bought but was put off by the 30mpg they could realistically achieve. Do wish I'd bought that ST or VXR now to say the least. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomroscoe Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 32.4 mpg is appalling for such a light car pulled by such a small engine. This is real mpg, right? Miles traveled by gallons bought? measured over at least four tank-fulls? The brakes aren't binding? You haven't got bags of cement in the boot? You've got 4 spark plugs fitted? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B13 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Approx. 53mpg for my Mk7 1.6 diesel… and that's suburban driving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 32.2 until I decided to deliberately do some Eco drivingSent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HShaw Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 My 1.2 Corsa did around 33-35mpg around town and did little over 40mpg sitting at 60mph on the motorway. Pretty shocking when you consider some bigger engines can do the same or better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcookie Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 mk7.5 zetec s 1,6 tdci 47-49mpg. I went from driving my wife's fiat punto grande (08) 1.4 so I throw it round all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
