Oops! Careless advertising? - midlifecrisis

I was browsing through What Car today and noticed the rather glossy advertisement for the Mondeo ST Tdci. Looking at the flashy photos, I noticed that the trip computer on the interior shots shows 17mpg. Whatever the reasons, doesn't give a good impression of it's economy. (Of course, only a sad case like me would notice this.)

I remember looking through a Mini brocheure back in the 1970's. The Mini Clubman had a small dent in the nearside wing!
