That makes more sense, the ford ended up getting scrapped (p/x that wasn't worth anything) so they gave me a couple hundred quid for it, thing is people (family) often say to me 'it's just the way you drive' that makes your fuel go but my mrs when she's in with me says in driving fine, below the speed limit and avoid all sharp braking and acellaration. The only other car I've had that was brilliant on diesel was a Y reg rover 25 spirit 2.0 IDT 100 bhp that was getting easily 60 mpg around the roads that I drive in Cumbria on a daily basis which is why I went for another diesel because the rover ended up being scrapped after the turbo blew and decided to take the majority of the oil from the engine and whizz it round the turbo then half back into the engine then the other half out the exhaust and I was left with a car that had a destroyed turbo, destroyed injector and leaky, bent conrod, and the head gasket blew in one of the cylinders, but it was economical going from Cumbria to Glasgow on 15 pound of diesel doing 70 mph all the way before the turbo blew, me and my mrs very impressed hence why we got this car. I'm just seeing if there's anything more fuel efficient that's a 5 door diesel. But I'm going to see what the changes are with car when it's fixed.

I had a ford focus 52 plate 1.8 petrol zetec, that was getting doing all the same mileage 34 mpg but I was putting in 100 pounds a week in it had 135,000 on the clock. If I was to get my money back for more reasons than that whaf would be the best car for mpg not power?

I took it back today and found the 4th injector (nearest the passenger side) is leaking cos it's black and thick black tar like substance around it plus when driving it there's a strong burning smell, how do I get more mpg I'm already doing 55 mpg at the most and avoiding sharp braking and sharp acceleration and keeping it in the correct gear?

I don't go over 55 on 60 speed limit roads, my cars going in to get fixed tomorrow on warranty there's loads wrong with it I only bought the car purely for mpg and I don't even get that even though the garage promised 3 of my family members it would do 15 pounds a week on the miles I do ... I know that's the biggest load of rubbish I've ever heard but I just humoured them but now there surprised that I'm taking it back but I'm just depending on getting my money back and getting a pug 1.4 HDI.

The orange light just comes on when the engine starts but goes off after a long (too long) period of time, I'm doing 50 a day on weekends I'm doing easily 65 miles a day, cost of diesel is 133.9 and I'm getting 75 miles to a bar of fuel when I put exactly 21 pounds in which gives me 15 litres exact which is exact half a tank and last me 180 miles before I need to stick another 21 pounds in. My hand brake is stuck on a bit and the tracking is off so once that's fixed I'm hoping for more mpg, when I do the 50 miles a day that's a combination of A roads a595 and B roads and town driving but no hold up other than traffic lights. Is there anything that could improve this mpg?

Thanks for the replies, I'm taking the car back for repairs due to the handbrake being stuck on a little bit and the tracking is off the the right, I've just put 20 pounds in which was 15 litres and it's done 160 miles and still going ... The car has got a tow bar and I think the fear box is wrecked as it won't go into 4 th or reverse gear properly, the car has 65,000 on the clock with full service history, the engine is emaculate condition not a speck of rust, there's no smoke at all not even when it's starting up, it pulls like a train without going above 2000 rpm at all times. I've been looking on line for research and it says if I got an induction kit I would get even more mpg. Why if I'm getting 45 mpg on average does it say I'm getting no less than 60 mpg on average, but why the big gap? Just to add there's an orange symbol on the speedo clock behind the steering wheel, it looks like an engine management light but I don't know what it means?

Hi, I've just bought a c3 2008 92 bhp hdi fully standard, I'm currently getting (so the internal computer says) 61.2 mpg between filling up, my daily driving doing 60 miles a day on A and B roads in cumbria, I'm putting in 50 pounds a week but I'm wondering if I could get more mpg for my money. I don't know much about cars other than what I get told, I've been told about tuning boxes to give me more power and torque and mpg. The power out put is brill as standard but just wondered if I could get more mpg? Big thing is I don't know what the difference and damage between this boxes and " remaps " could anyone who's experienced one let me know as I'm looking at getting one. Thanks
