Really? I do a lot of stop/start in the ti which is a 2 litre turbo, and rarely get below 28mpg. Suppose driving style could account for the difference however!

I do a lot of stop-start in my Honda, and I average 32. That's because I do a lot of motorway driving too, which increases the average...

Current tank 73.6 MPG but I mainly driving country A roads with a short piece of M/A42 since changing jobs. I can get higher going the longer route but thats false economy, more traffic and less fun.
Junction 13 to 11 is suprisingly down hill, can do most of it at 150mpg at 65mph with the traffic
When I go and pick my son up fron nursery 17miles away I'll always get 90mpg+ as its pure A5 at no more than 50mph limits,

I never trust trip computers.. the one in my parents' Toyota consistently overestimates (they also keep an actual petrol useage notepad) by >10mpg.
But mostly I'm just jealous you get better mpg than me

The FCD in the Insight is pretty spot on for obvious reasons.
Petrol not diesel, Aero Cd of 0.25 and NIL tax. Its about the only claim to fame I can pull.

So far in owning the Fiesta I've averaged 62 mpg.
I've found that my trip computer is quite inaccurate when it comes to working out mpg. I've tracked every fill up on an iphone mpg app and its often 5mpg better than my computer says.

Sorry, but why is it obvious?
Sorry didnt mean it to sound like that. Just mean its pretty much the point of the car so the data is pretty clear and accurate - sliding scale 0-150 and can switch to litres/100km and then a segment trip ontop of trip A, B and lifetime to measure segments of your trip. 150mpg section earlier was actually 147 something but I rounded up.

Does the iphone thing work on GPS? To give you the distance travelled more acurate than your odometer. Where does the iphone get the fuel burn data from?
Nice result from the fiesta, just shame about the depreciation killing any real difference in saving.
or some people can't accept that actually, they are, given the performance slant of most of the range, pretty good on fuel?
Averaged 11.4 MPG tonight in my Scania
I was only pulling a 10Mtr trailer....Averaged 11.4 MPG tonight in my Scania
Pretty good.
Best I ever got out of my old 164 was 9.5mpg, that was with a bulk tipper though, which didn't exactly help fuel econmy
I don't see any big depreciation shown in Fiestas. Focus and Mondeo have higher depreciation than Fiesta. I have seen some 2005 models selling at quite expensive used prices.
