Owned my Escort for now for 3 glorious weeks. Heads have turned in astonishment as I've cruised around with the wife like a monk, never biting and rarely going beyond 4000rpm. So today was its weekly fill up and thought I would do me sums for the mpg. ( I know it shouldnt be done ). Fuck me, 17.8mpg the calculator said. Sure the wife has been giving it a good thrashing when me backs turned. Does this seem about right?? I knew it was gonna be thirsty but expected 21-22 at least.
Never mind, moan over
