Nerys83 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looking for some advice! Ive ordered a fiesta zetec s for march 15 diesel 1.6 however my partner is insisting the ecoboost is a better engine..I do over 300 miles per week so thought diesel would be easier on £! Im paying £650 more to have the diesel . If I would be saving £ 50 a month on fuel i thought I would make the £650 back in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Diesel with that mileage ! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsilverstone Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Definitely Diesel. However,the Ecoboost is a good work horse, but would be more expensive to run with that mileage per week!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford_Man Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 You made the right choice with that millage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Nope . . if fuel economy is your priority then Diesel power is not a dinosaur ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenST13 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Defo diesel for that millage. EcoBoost would be better for lower millage and mainly town driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I do roughly the same amount of miles as you per week for work and a bit more on the weekends. I have a Focus MK2.5 1.6 TDCI and I did the sums before buying it. It will work out to be cheaper in the long term. You will definitely make the £650 pounds back. Plus, once you have crawled the money back from the fuel savings, get the car remapped and multiply the grin factor while saving more fuel on your trips. That's what I did :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Defo diesel for that millage. EcoBoost would be better for lower millage and mainly town driving. My thoughts exactly, especially if a lot of those miles are on the motorway the diesel will save you a fair bit of money. Also you won't have to worry about DPF problems which are often a problem for low mileage diesel engines. Personally I don't like diesels so would go for the petrol every time, unless I was completely skint. That's why I went for the ST though, choosing with my heart instead of my head :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
