if you think along the lines of i'm running out of fuel so i'll boot it at 100mph to the petrol station you are going to run out sooner.

my dad found from his 2l tdci mondo that about 55-60mph was best and he got over 60mpg but i think thats due to it having 6 gears. the focus isnt as good, i know my mum's got a 1.8 tdci focus mk1.5
