That's great Ian, thanks for that. I'd be looking to get a new one which currently has 3 years free servicing, something that obviously sounds like it could be a real benefit. Mileage wise in the last 4months I have done 7000miles. This is slightly above average for me but the lowest I have got out of a tank on the Mondeo is 44mpg. The increase in fuel doesn't bother me too much just as long as I'm not down the garage every other day filling up.

Reading about it seems they can range between 16-30mpg depending on how much fun you're having, would you agree with that? The only thing I am want is to be able to get 30-32mpg whilst cruising at 70-85mph. Do you think this is possible? I am quite a smooth driver so can usually be pretty efficent (by that I mean I rarely need to use the brakes on the motorway by aticipating the braking up ahead and adjusting my speed). I know when you get a car like this you shouldn't really worry about economy but it's not like I'm looking to run a 4 litre V8 Jag which I know I can get 27mpg out of.
