I've just bought my first Jocus, I'm very happy with it apart from the
fuel consumption. It's a 1.6 Zetec Climate, I don't drive it hard but I
only get 28mpg around town. For a modern engine this is rubbish - my son
has a 1.6 Peogeot diesel 206, he gets 45 mpg on the same sort of run. I
obviously expected some difference, but not this much!
Is 28 mpg around town/45mpg motorway normal for this car?
Neil. |

I bought 2007 Focus 2.0L with automatic transmission. I get around 30 MPG
which is a little on the low side. My last car 98 Escort Std Trans got
38-42. The car before that was a 91 Merc Tracer Std Trans 42-47. So maybe
I should have stuck with a STD Trans. I know it would help if the Auto Tran
had 5 or 6 speeds.
You doing about right.

I have a 2001 1.6 Petrol Auto - and typically achieve 30-33 miles per
imperial gallon on urban driving - with 37mpg on motorway trips.
However, recently I chose to drive at no more than 70mph on the clock on
a long quiet road and motorway drive and achieved 40-43mpg - I was very
impressed - for an auto box 1.6.
