Re: Fuel Consumption on your Focus
|
|
Model: 2012 Ford Focus Ambiente (Thai)
Generation: LW
Type: Duratec 1.6L Ti-VCT DOHC Petrol, Manual
Driving style: 85% City : 15% Freeway, aircon ON all the time
Fuel: CALTEX 95 or 98
Fuel Consumption: Avg 8.8 - 9.2l / 100km (500 - 550 km @ 45 liters), calculated fill-up by fill-up, not from a trip comp which sits at 9.0 flat.
FAR CRY FROM DECLARED VALUE of 6.2L (combined cycle).
A colleague has a 2011 German-built 2011 Ambiente (same engine) and he gets 7.6L on a similar driving style.
Also, brochure says 91 to 98 RON...Foolishly, I tried 91...engine stalls, groans, jerks and backfires.....
