Default mk1 1.8 Focus economy

Borrowed my mums Focus yesterday to go to Bristol after spotting the back tyres were more than a bit low on my Audi. Was in a rush so didn't pay attention to fuel guage.

At 1pm I decide to head for home (Hertfordshire) and spot the needle was halfway between 1/4 and 1/2 tank. Wasn't in a rush so pootled back. 128 miles later and the needle still says just over 1/8.

I was really quite impressed as I'd resigned myself to a fill up en route.

Mind you as I borrowed it I still need to fill it up
