Ford Fiesta Actual Fuel Consumption

**lamborghinione** · October 27th, 2010 01:07 PM

Indeed the Fiesta has the best fuel consumption in its class based
from actual test drives in Thailand:

Ford Fiesta 1.6L Sport

City: 7.5L/100km = 13.33km/L
Highway: 4.5L/100km= 22.22km/L (Prius like FC!)

Ford Fiesta 1.4L Treand Sedan

City: 8.1L/100km = 12.34km/L
Highway: 5.9L/100km = 16.9km/L

TO: All Fiesta owners

What's your actual Fuel consumption here?! We need this info before considering this mighty Fiesta. Thanks a lot!

Wow. Nacurious lang ako, bakit mas naging fuel efficient and 1.6 na sport compared sa 1.4? Nakukulitan kasi ako sa pumipilit sa akin na 1.3 na vios or city ang bilhin dalhin iyon ang pinakafuel efficient.

I bet those are just SA or let me say "marketing" Fuel Consumption claims, I just know since I own one of the most fuel efficient cars to date in our country, and with the traffic conditions here, kahit ang .8l car ko hirap abutin ang ganyang figures.

Example would be 22km/l for a 1.6 in a highway, no matter how advanced the technology of the fiesta is, kahit controlled highway driving hirap paabutin iyan sa ganyang figures. Kahit maintaining ka ng 80km/hr * overdrive gear in a highway, mataas na mataas na ang 15-18km/l sa highway.

but then again I don't own one so I can't prove this, yung owners ng Fiesta ang makakapagsabi ng totoo.

Waiting for actual Fiesta owners to post their real world (Metro Manila, Philippines) FC figures.

1.6 models have the dual-clutch 6-speed Powershift transmission.
Precise clutch control and quick shifting help improve fuel efficiency.

First time for me to hear about the 22km/L figure...
According to a Motioncars test...
"Gingerly modulate the throttle and you’ll get close to 17 km/L."

this will improve more, pero hindi yung dramatic improvement. siguro after 5k km pwede ka nang umabot ng mga 13-14km/l.

as I assess, this is a mixed city-highway pero mostly highway (90-95%). what is your driving style or speed at highway?

at nlex around 100-120 kph....regular highway around 60-80....smooth driving..i always try to make the auto tranny upshift as soon as possible...actually i always compute mileage after every fulltank....parang habit ko na....
