I tried that before, being not too aggressive with acceleration coupled light application of throttle input and slow braking. I was able to achieve 10 km/L. It felt boring and no fun at all.
The Fiesta Ecoboost is not meant to be driven like a granny. It loves to run and take on the twisties. Like a daily go-kart. I could only imagine how much more fun the Fiesta ST 1.6L Ecoboost (200hp) can offer. hehehe
Seriously though , it's hard trying to keep the car at an rpm just before the turbo spools. The 3-cylinder turbo motor has an idle rpm of around 950-1000 rpm. Trying to keep it between 1000 and 1500 rpm is a bit of a challenge when the throttle is responsive coupled with the modulation needed to regulate the clanky nature of DCT in low crawling speeds.
