I always got 17 to 20 when mine was stock. Speed is also the big mileage killer of all Vans


I have found, plus the Zetec does better when the revs are kept up some. Lugging it in 4th at lower speeds doesn’t help any.


With the turbo Bostig I get less, but then my right foot may have something to do with that issue..

Hi All,


If you've moved from the wbx to a zetec would you mind sharing your average MPG and whether you're running the stock 14" rims or something larger?
I'm getting around 15mpg, city driving, right now and wondering how much savings can be realized with larger rims.


Cheers,
Harry
