I forgot to mention my clock only read 60MPG for about 20 secs if that, before I had to put it back into gear which it drastically fell back down!! All I wanted to let you guys know that the MPG counter does actually go that far up, and is not electronically restricted to 30.3 MPG.

it goes as far up as 90mpg from messing about with mine, then it rapidly decreases. ive had mine very very low too which i posted a while ago think it was about 3.2 mpg or something like

99.9mpg is also possible, lol i played around with my car long enuff to find that one out lmao

well my friend has a 1007 and when he coasts down the road the computer says he is doing 999.99 MPG lmfao :P i couldnt belive it untill i saw it go up haha :P

Best I managed on a 60-odd mile mainly motorway trip was 38.9mpg as an average which I was pretty chuffed with. Generally as an average I get about 28mpg.

The biggest problem with the ST is the very short fifth gear which means anything slightly north of 70mph really knocks the economy.

ROFL, in that case iv had 99.99!

im not lying! lol, youve all seen it, once you reset it it goes up my miles first! but soon settles at around 30mpg-ish

i would love to get 60 mpg i can only get 28 at mo haha drinks the fuel lol

Ford say that the bp fuel is much better and u get more miles out of it not sure if its all crap or what ??

You are better off putting a decent fuel in like Shell or BP, than cheap supermarket fuel. However... the thing with Ford recommending BP specifically will just be a marketing thing because of Ford and BP both being part of the Nectar card scheme, their tie-up with M-Sport etc.

ok cool u got any other good tips as i only got car 2 days ago

prob fuel economy and i seem to be draining the fuel

I've done some pretty extensive tests on the ecotek and I can confirm that it does make about a 10% reduction in fuel consuption given all other factors remaining the same.

Thing is that you can get much better gains by driving around slower and more consistantly. If you're on and off the juice and generally blasting about you'll suffer with 25mpg or less. If you're careful you can get 34mpg.

You're new to the car so no doubt spinning wheels trying to pull away.... this will change and so will you've economy with it, but don't think you've ever getting above 40mpg for day to day driving

Biggest fuel economy gains - buy the ZS oil burner!

PS - starting a new project cycling to work and tracking fuel savings off set against increased food consuption...... I'll keep you updated! :-)
