My Focus 03 TDCi Nailing fuel?

This morning Ive covered 50 odd miles and used up a quarter of a tank? Now this is my first diesel and hopefully the last so I dont really know what to expect from them, but im pretty sure my 350bhp FRS can do 50 miles to a quarter of a tank....

Any idea's what could be the problem?

you probabily have a heavy foot

 

riiiiiiiiiiiiiight

thanks for that

 

your welcome

 

As it's a new to you car, I wouldn't assume the gauge is anything like accurate.
The ONLY way to establish with decent accuracy is to drive from brim to brim on a tank and work out.
It certainly should be better than this, the last tdci or whatever it's called focus(09)I drove, I was getting about 38mpg, driven gently but only had around 1500 miles on it, and a heavy footed driver!!
