Fuel economy What does yours do?
Just my lil 1.6 escort si is doing around 27 i think,
SO some of your should be really low
Also what about the 130ps 1.8 zetec any figures?
What with the evr increasing fuel price?

31mpg on motorway at 70+ mph, will do less if going slower as the cossie revs silly high at that speed. 33-34 mpg if really trying and a lot less if giving it large.
3000+ rpm compared to my dads Vauxhall Vectra that sits at 2200 rpm.
