Fuel consumption aint to bad i suppose - my 1st tank did approx 30mpg, and just worked out my second at about 34 mpg approx doing mainly motorway miles (80 - 90mph) though!!!! definately not as good as mpg as on my mk5 Zetec S! not surprsing considering its a 2.0l - but the ford figures showed em to be pretty much the same for both cars! - if the mpg doesnt get much better its working out at about an extra £3 a week for me at fill up! (£156 pa)!!! but....worth it though cos the cars mint!
