I'm in Peterborough. Maybe i'm just expecting too much from it, if 23mpg is the best I can expect then thats just plain crap! I had an ST200 mondeo that used to get driven pretty hard and could get anywhere between 26-30mpg. The car seemed to be pulling better today for some reason?!

youll be doing very well to acheive that round town....on a run, yes

A 2.0 ltr 16v engine in a car weighing just under 2 tonnes is never going to break any acceleration records or economy records... the engine will be working quite hard all the time IMO

Used to do mid 20's round town and up to 30 on a run. Most of my driving is A and B roads, 40-50 miles a day.

I made calculation into mpg and result....30 mpg on long run (absolutely the best of) and 16 mpg when driving only to shop - doctor - home, short distances (the worst of)

Check the cam timing first, mine was slow as snail and very poor in start. Had to press pedal to half only to start moving from still. Before it's too late. Now it runs perfectly, but of you you want anything more out of it, must be over 3500 rpm - it's a midget under the hood
