MPG affected by changing my battery?
I own a Ford Focus 05 1.6 90bhp, I recently changed the battery and mpg has risen via EMC can I get it back to the lower figure by reconecting battery again, or is it a dealer issue. Also do you know if this model uses glow plugs, as I can't find them?

If it's a diesel, yes it does have glowplugs.
