With fuel prices the way they are, and with further rises expected in the coming months, I'd think very carefully to be honest.

I know a couple of people with STs, one is selling and the other is considering it. Running a big engined car every day is an expensive business these days

I love mine

Never realy worked out its MPG , but if you want a car like an RS they you cant worry about MPG

If you want a car that does a million miles per gallon buy a diesel fiesta

I think the focus is worth the extra fuel tho

I had a focus st3 it was shit on fuel 22mpg i got sometimes 18mpg if it were a RS & was using it for pleasure i wouldnt mind but using it for work everyday was a nightmare hand was never out my pocket.

My mates MK2 FRS never got anywhere near these figures and he used it as a daily just tooling to work and back, about 8 miles each way at 45-55mph for 7.5 miles of that... sure he was getting sub 20mpg average from his car, standard and treated like an absolute baby.

they are about the same as my old focus st on normal driving, they do use the fuel when used in anger....

my friend has a jamsport js440 kit and is the bollocks to drive but very juicy and uses it as a toy now... but as standard they are pretty good concidering.

im with you mate im going to sell the cossie in the summer and get one.

Keeping the cossy its the BMW that's going if anything! Not to bothered on the mpg as long as it's better than the cossy lol going to have a look at one in the local ford dealers later and see what they offer on the Bm

I use my ST2 everyday for work and it returns 24mpg. As said above IMO it's worth the extra cash for the petrol.
