Ford Focus 1.6TDCi - Info needed please

misterbarlow

slightly different car but should give similar consumption as same engine..
we have a 63 Cmax on a 1.6tdci and rarely get over 38-40mpg around town and on the commute, which invloves 5m mway and some urban.
Gets about 60-65mpg on a long mway run...

A big thank you to everyone that has commented on my thread. Your views and thoughts have been a big help.
We are currently thinking of sticking with a petrol and are reading up on the Ford Focus Zetec 1.0 (100ps) Ecoboost 5dr.
We wont be rushing into anything, just looking at the minute.

Isn't that about 4k more than a 1.6 petrol?

If you change the car on a regular basis you'll need to do a fair few miles to get your money back.

We had a 1.0 focus ecoboost hire car late last year. Hubby did all the driving of it but was highly complementary of the engine and how it performed.

That is pretty poor for a diesel..there are petrol engined cars that could better that without the extra complication of a modern diesel.

Our citroen multispace was about the same economy.

Whats the Astra pulling MPG ? I know well serviced they can get 40MPG average running and 47 motorway.
The trick is cleaning the throttle body right out gives a good 5mpg back , new Air filter, injectors kept clean, good tyre pressure, thermostat 100% working and they are quite good for a petrol 1.6.

Our Astra is a 60plate. Around Brid is does around 28-30mpg.
On a run 60-70mph it does around 38-40. I wish our car had a sixth gear as in my opion it could do with one at high speeds.
Fully enough we have just had the Thermostat replaced as it was on its way out.

Does anyone know what MPG the 1.0 ford focus ecoboost do?
So many threads I keep reading online say different from 30-60mpg.
thanks

Ignore the manufacturer figures I think realistically you'll be getting mid to high 30s depending on driving style on the Focus 1.0T. I tried that engine in the Fiesta with Powershift gearbox and averaged 48 but that involved by little urban running. If you're driving round Brid a lot, and getting stuck behind those retired residents, or slow tourists, you'll be changing gear a lot, that'll impact your mpg!
