Hi, we recently bought a 1.6 TDCI focus and in general, we're happy with the car but we only seem to be getting about 43 mpg. I drive it mainly in moving (slowly!) traffic during the week but it would generally get a good leg stretch on the weekends.
Does this mpg sound a bit low to anyone or are there other factors I should be taking into consideration?
thanks.
Avergage over last year is always around 52-53mpg for me, not really any city driving but mostly open roads and with aircon on 90% of time... Your seems a little low but slow moving city driving would be hard on Diesel no doubt so that may be the norm for your current driving pattern.
