Csm

Tesco Momentum 99 is what the ST really craves, runs so much smoother and pops and bangs much easier haha

Tried V-Power but didnt feel as punchy

Mine averages 25mpg with mixed driving. Never noticed any difference between 95 and any of the super brands either.

Csm

Aye if its been built to use the normal 95 ron then fuck paying even more for high octane fuel that in reality and everyday driving you dont need

That's it, 95% of the time my ST is used to ferry my 7 month daughter about, do the shopping, and boring shit like that, for the other 5% of the time that it gets the shit kicked out of it it isn't worth it!

foci

Short journeys= 19mpg

Long journeys= 32mpg

That's with Dsci map, sport cat, bmc cais.

Csm

32mpg on a run is bloody good imo

so when mapped what are they 280-300 ponies thereabouts ?

they sound lovely in the passing thats for sure, just wish i didnt have to do a 70 mile round trip for work

robbie1988

Mapped they are around 250-260 - need other mods to get more unless the mapper doesnt know much and just ramps up the boost.

ST's were designed to run on 97 - on the fuel cap it says this - BP Ultimate recommend according to filler but never ran right for me.

Average when playing 12mpg
If being careful 24mpg

YOu know i'm really tempted with one but all this talk of low 20's is slightly of putting.

Alot of people only get low twenties at best but thats what puts alot off.

I used mine everyday and used to cost around Ł120 a week in fuel and only live 16 miles from where I work haha. I got better mpg at stage 4 than I ever did as standard or even stage 2

Rob

Dumpvalve

I tried som 20" MS Design wheels from a 08 Mondeo. Worked just fine

The front splitter on your old Focus. How is it attached to the bumper?

Carlos-Titx

Didn't realise they were 20's. They don't look out of place on it though.

I think it is screwed or bonded. I'll have to text him and find out.

really nice cars but low 20s mpg i couldnt live with, well i could but my lass would kill me

Carlos-Titx

The mpg is a fucker. I love 1 tank saying me a month instead of a week but I miss the ST.

Best of both worlds for me now, ST in the garage colleting dust, and now I smoke about in a 500 quid diesel mondeo

Carlos-Titx

If I had the space thats what I would of done.
Proper miss the car especially when the new owner texts me a pic with his new upgrade

craigfocus

a bloke over the road runs a micra while his z4 sits in the garage till the weekend, do you need 2 policys or both cars on the same one?
