• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2003 1.8 Zetec Tdci 115 fuel consumption 18 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, I've recently bought a Focus 1.8 Tdci 115bhp from a Ford dealer. I'm a bit disappointed by its fuel consumption as I'm only getting about 48mpg from it whereas I thought that this car is supposed to do about 53mpg. This is about 540 miles on a full tank if I leave it as long as poss until the fuel needle really isn't moving.

• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - Fuel Economy 12 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I've had a Mondeo Titanium 1.8 TDci 125Bhp for the last month, and only clocked up 1500 miles - so I appreciate I might be jumping the gun a bit.....but.....the fuel economy is appalling. It's a company car, and choosing this car was a delicate balance of what I could get for my money, test drives, economy, tax, looks, safety - and this beat off an Audi A4, BMW 320d and the Merc C200cdi.

• M reg 1.4 Clio high fuel consumption 15 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  The car is serviced regularly with oil change at least every 5k miles. My question is what could cause such a large drop in fuel economy. i am losing nearly 100miles per tank? Any possibility for the wobble, i gave up on the garage, which came highly recommended. I would appreciate any advice, as this little economical car has cost me far more than my previous carlton estate and audi avant!!!!

  A warm air tube is therefore not present, only the ducting from the airflow meter/fuel distributor (depends which K jet or digifant) Question...has anyone else experienced fuel contamination like this and do they reckon it gives the same symptoms as icing?
