Not sure about the CL and LX though as the tyre profiles are different I thnk. Certainly on the CL.

Tyre pressures are good, I live in the country with roads that are made from coarse stones, so it's not the same as city style hotmix. But for example. My daily car is a VP 5 litre with straight through 2.25 twin exhausts, stripped out with NO body deadner or rubber mats lightened carpet etc. And the Fiesta is equal if not louder inside than it on the same road with much more tyre noise (alot less engine obviously but overall the same). Both are silent on smooth roads as you would expect (apart from the engine in the VP grumbling a bit). The Fiesta uses well over 1 litre per hundred more on the roads here than it does on hotmix that's how much extra power (noise) it makes. The roads don't really effect the fuel use on the larger cars, just something I've noticed, not sure it that's just because the Fiesta has not much power or the tyres or both
