To say that is bad economy, then yes it is compared to a 1 litre fiesta, however it's a turbocharged 2.5 litre 5 cylinder so that's not too bad economy for what it is.
I can't understand how may people complain about the efficiency of them. It's like having your heating on at home all the time, then moaning you've got a big gas bill lol
