Fuel Economy Stats


Recommended Posts

Given that I seem to be one of the few 453 owners on here (or indeed in all of Canada), I was still curious to find out what others might be averaging on a per-tank basis.

I'm currently at 7800 km on the odometer, and haven't reset the bordcomputer since buying the car, and it tells me that it's averaging 6.0 L/100 km. My Spritmonitor's tally is at 6.12 L/100 km, which seems well within the car's margin of error.

After averaging 4.6 L/100 km in my old 450 cdi, I'm happily surprised by this gasser's performance so far.

How's everyone else doing?

6.1 is close to what our Fiesta does, but in a more suburban setting. Not bad, but not close to the cdi, as expected - neither is the performance comparable.

I gather the Cabriolet is going to be rated slightly higher for fuel consumption than the closed version. At least, the EPA in the USA knocks 1 MPG off the open version. BTW, I "built" a cabriolet on the website and a loaded one costs $30K. That's Tailor Made territory!

I was quite impressed with the fuel consumption numbers on the 453 loaner I had a couple of months back, and I was giving it a pretty good thrashing. It seemed at least as good, if not better than, any 451 I've driven, and it seemed way more peppy. The new powertrain is pretty impressive.
