Hi,
I have set my heart on a new focus 1.6 hatchback (new shape) and the only decision is if I should buy a diesel instead of petrol?
Apart from the lower tax I would be paying (£35) - would I still be saving on my fuel?
I had a word with the Ford sales rep and he said that a 1.6 Petrol would do around 350miles and a 1.6 diesel would run 550miles on a full tank. I dont know if these figures are accurate. Could any of you guys give me your experience of fuel consumption in your cars. Is diesel still the most cost effective of the two?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
