thanks all slightly of topic a few years back i owned a citroen ax gt which i purchsed new quite good on mpg about 38 mainly moterway driving so fithe gear often used.

at the time i borrowed the firms 1.4 orion to pick up some goods, but found that acceleration in fithe gear was non existant compared to my citroen, is the fords fithe gear a very high ratio??

a friend had escort 1300/1400 we went on moterway noticed in fithe the revs were very low.

thank you
