Jonanstee Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I was having a look at my vehicle on parkers and it states i should be getting 508 miles per tank. Im lucky if i get 300 per tank. Does anyone know how accurate this is? what is everyone else getting? What can be done to increase miles per tank? http://www.parkers.co.uk/ford/focus/hatchback-2005/16-lx-5d/specs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFocus Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi, It's not at all accurate; it probably takes in to account the reserve and will be calculating the range based on the official MPG figures which is probably 47ish mpg and I doubt you'll get anywhere near that unless you are on a long run. 300 miles is low though! I've been getting about 400 miles from a tank in my Mk3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon84 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I get 300 to 350 on my MK2 1.6. It's pretty ropey around town! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFocus Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 From doing a bit of maths it sounds like you're doing approximately 31mpg, which around town is as I'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonanstee Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 I used to do all motorway and get about 350. now is pretty much all city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v530anh Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Last one was my highest 350 on momentum no motorways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I used to get 1200 in my mk3 1.6 diesel. But then they updated my trip computer with the correct software. =D Now about 650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dymetrie Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'm currently getting about 430 in my 1.6 mk1.5. I do about 300 miles a week commuting to work, which is about 2/3rds motorway and 1/3rd driving in London. Think the engine is properly bedded in now, after 140,000 miles (50k were mine) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I will get 280 mile off £30 round town n that's booting it now n again also, I have had just over 500mile on full tank £65 that was motorway n its focus 1.8 tdci remapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hmm I may have to redo my math then cos 650 seems optimistic compared to others. Getting a solid 55mpg with very mixed driving, no motorway, according to the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Hi I have a 1.6 petrol and get about 380 / 390. Not good really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
