So, I have been considering upgrading from my FG Falcon for a while now, and have been looking at a Mondeo for a while. It's overall package is really impressive, especially the economy of the turbo diesel.
I have just moved from the country to the suburbs, where everything I need (uni, shops, gym etc.) is no more than a 5-10 minute drive. The stop start nature of this has seen the Falcon's economy rise to 12+l/100km which is a jump form the standard 8.5l/100km I am used to from highway cruising. I don't know a lot about turbo diesel engines, other than that they have really impressive economy on paper. I read on a forum that short trips/stop start traffic may not be best for the diesel and in that case a petrol model would be more suited. Is this true? Given my situation, I am a bit confused as to which fuel would be best for a future Mondeo. Any suggestions? |
