Default New ST....Help please ASAP

I currently have an ST170 and im thinking of getting the new ST. My only reservation is the increase fuel consumption. I do 50 miles a day to and from work and i know the new st will use a little more but how much more?

I have seen all the usual crap based on an averge blar blar blar.... but i need some real figures, for instance my st170 does 316 miles on a full tank £40. What does the new st do

Please can anyone help asap as i have seen a car an need to make decision before someone else buys it.

Cheers all

Nice car by the way
