I have surrended my trustwothy Suzuki Wagon r plus for a 2016 Ecosport Titanium 1 ltr Ecoboost engine of 140 BHP. The car is spoilt by not having any grab handles,no parcel shelf,very poor storage for anything,soft seats,rear seats awkward to fold, and not very easy getting into and out due to the slope of the windscreen. With all this, comes a car that is quiet and smooth to drive and goes like a rocket. However,the MPG I get does not tally with what Ford reckon you should get.
I had a formula in the 60s of finding average MPG based on kerb weight this 660 divided by weight in CWT =MPG translated to KG its 33594 divided by weight in kg which for my Ecosport is 1338kg.
This works out at 25mpg. In fact I have found that I am getting 33mpg for mixed driving,perhaps the extra is due to this 3 pot marvel!
The car has only done 3000 miles, and not had its first service yet, so maybe a bit more MPG forthcoming!
What do other owners get on average. The instantaneous fuel consumption meter can show 47mpg when cruising.
