I normally get between 29-33 mpg driving normally, but obviously it depends on what roads you're on how fast you going etc. I think most people are getting similar. I did find that mine did improve a bit after it was run in so I wouldn't worry there.
phew cheers guys i do admit i drive with a lead foot sumtimes but just wondered n its already run in bought it 10 months old so nice n open thanx again

I get about 28-29 when driving in an urban area, but that's driving reasonably sensible, but not too much! I can get about 32 when really making an effort, but if i drive how i want then i'm struggling to get more than 25mpg!
Quote: hi, whats the average in miles per tank of gas?? say about 280mls. iceman.
Well... yesterday was the first time I'd worked it out properly in ages, and I got 274 miles out of a tank between refuelling, using 42.5 litres (so roughly 29mpg). Given this was all almost exclusively motorway driving and wasn't holding back at times, I thought was not bad really.
i think thats good. my 2000 zetec s is doing about the same to a tank so think i will be quite happy when my ST arrives. about the same to the gallon but alot more fun!! guess the ST has a 8gallon tank aswell? i think thats whats in the zetec s.

Hmmmm... i get about 22MPG... maybe red lining every gear does'nt do much for fuel consumption! Or it could be going max speed on the autobahn that does it? lol
hi guys, 29mpg not bad at all,i can roughly do about 280mls per tank of gas at a cost of around £33 to fill her up.has anyone noticed a differance when useing super unleaded gas??? iceman.
