  • MPG

    Last weekend put 100 quid in the escort and only got 320 miles on a run is this the norm for a stage 1 large turbo escort cos .I say this because my old saff was stage 3 and for 100 quid i would get about 520 miles easy.
    It has got a very early chip according to Harvey. do you this could have something to do with it or are all escorts like this?

    How did you get £100 in? Mine used to take about £40, and that'd take me around 300 miles

      320 for £100 doesnt sound great,i dont really count my mpg as i dont run the tank down too far and dont trust gauge near the empty ,mine is similar spec and get c300 to 1 tank with mixed driving

            don't work it out lads or the for sale room will be chocka with for sale due to crap consumption.

                    £40 and 300 miles, were you goin down hill all the way £40 to fill up as never let it drop bellow 1/4 tank but that will do about 100 miles of driving and prob about 70 if on it
