M reg Escort mpg ? - bedfordrl
Just bought an M reg 1.4 Escort Hatchback basic model and am surprised on how much fuel it uses.
It is doing about 25-30 mpg, is this normal ?, if not what should i looking for as this is a bit more technical than the old Range Rover.
Cheers

Aroun town that would be expected. On long runs 35mpg + should be possible.

A basic servcie: oil/plugs/filters and clean out all breathers would probably help. If air filter is dirty worth 2-3mpg...
