Ford Fiesta Mk6 1.4 Duratec - smoke

I have a 04 Fiesta 1.4 petrol, and i am only getting 36mpg after a motorway run. I think this is very poor, so i have had the car checked by ford who found no problems. What do other people get with this engine?
cheers
Sid

Have the same car - it's not reknown for been particularly miserly on petrol although 36mpg sounds a little low, quite a "rev-hungry" engine though so probably easy to use up the juice with a little extra pressure from the right foot
