Yup sure is a great car?

That is pretty bad fuel economy tho. I recently took my zetec from sydney to adelaide and managed to get the fuel consumption under 6L per hundred, sitting on 120kph. I do approximately 600ks a week and only use one tank of petrol, and most of this driving is stop/start city driving delivering pizza's. So i would seriously try and get ford to look at the fuel consumption. Because even my old 87 automatic laser at worst only burnt 10L per 100kms. And as for not running in top gear, there is something wrong there, i always put my zetec in to 5th around the 50-60k mark, and have never heard a peep out of it.

P.S. I no im comparing it to the zetec but thats the only comparison i have, i wouldnt expect a 2L to have too many differences in economy or how fast u need to be going before u slot it into 5th.
