Default Re: WZ Fiesta ST Questions Thread

What sort of fuel economy is everyone getting?

My trip computer shows 7.5L, but real world is more like 8.7L. This is annoying as my previous Fiesta Zetec's trip computer was pretty much bang on all the time. My ST has done just over 6,000kms and I fill up with Shell V Power most of the time (out of convenience) I'll switch back to BP Ultimate and see how I go.

As a comparison, im getting that 8.7L on the same trips that got me 6.2L in my previous Zetec. Ford claim the same combined economy on the ST as the outgoing 1.6L Zetec, so either the EcoBoost has to loosen up a little more or you have to be #really gentle# to get that sort of economy.

Could I live without the EcoBoost engine, and ST suspension, and Recaro seats, and, and, and? I'll just have to cop the extra thirst!
