I have a Fiesta 1.0T Ecoboost 100ps 5 door. The official figures state that in town you should get 53mpg and on motorways 76mpg. With careful driving i am getting 41mpg in town and 48 on motorways. I once got 53mpg on a 50mph road. What is everyone else getting as i feel like i paid an extra £1000 for nothing.

    True, without the turbo it's an economical but gutless 3 pot like Poxhall failed with the 3 pot n/a Corsa

    I'm getting 44 - 45 MPG in mine, with a stage 1 ECU remap. I do like my little turbo though ;)
