O/T Fuel Economy :)

[Mike]

Right my pug is up for grabs,its a diesle but i wouldnt say its the best on fuel,and seen as its a daily drive im looking for somethin cheaper to run and 5 door
(not got a lot of cash to play with so bear in mind)

cars i have in mind:
Focus 5 door 1.8td - Got told theyre pretty good on fuel?
Focus 5 door 1.4 - This time cheap tax and ins,BUT what about fuel?
Brava 1.9td unsure on running costs.
Brava 1.4 - do they exist? if so what are they like at running?

Cheers all

The 1.4 brav's are renowned for poor fuel economy and were replaced with the 1.2 engine so I would advise against that. Not sure about the others but check parkers, they have all the info about fuel consumption!

the `1.8td focus is best option mate, the 1.4 petrols are rubish in every sense of the word inc fuel.

Focus 1.8td is great on fuel. I got 68mpg out of one on a 150 miles motorway journey the once...

I used to get up to 70ish on a run from my Renault Grand Scenic 1.5dci, depending what sort of mood i was in

Not actually checked what i am getting from the jtd 105
