The same deisel might do 50 on a run, but for the rest of its life it will trundle around town blocking up its DPF and smashing its DMF pieces.

It still works out cheaper to buy petrol in the first place lol.
Focus 1.8 petrol is the best combination.

1.6 too thirsty0 -
Possibly, as I had a 2004 307 that had a DPF and Ford share the same engine. Might be a 54 reg mkII knocking about with one.Ultrasonic wrote: »I doubt a 2004 Focus has a DPF.0
