I actually went for the 2.2 (198) over the 2.0 (160) because, at the time, people were reporting that the 2.0 wasn't much better on fuel than the 2.2 (plus the 2. Last, but certainly not least we have the Thermapen One, while the MK4 used to be king, these days the badest thermometer in the land is the One. Parkers show my 2.2 as 47mpg but I'm averaging 40mpg over the last 8 years, best was around 45mpg and worst was 32mpg. I've not asked to see what he gets but would be hard for him to calculate accurately as he will never fill it completely to allow for a brim to brim type calculation.Īnother friend has a 2010 Kuga with the 160 engine, they live in the countryside and don't do massive miles, but have to drive reasonably far to towns and cities, from memory the trip computer was always around 44mpg.They've never calculated manually though. My friend recently bought a 2013 Zetec Business Edition 138 and he will never achieve 62mpg as he only drives a few miles to work. It will all depend on how you drive and type of driving (town/motorways etc) I have no experience of either engine but it won't achieve 62mpg.

All apply to hatchbacks with manual gearbox. Most discussion I've found online seems to related to earlier production years. I'm very tempted by the £30 road tax, but if they're not actually going to do any more mpg than the models a couple of years earlier, then I might just save some money and buy a slightly older car. Has anyone got any experience of these late production 160bhp engines to say whether they are actually more efficient than the earlier ones? I wouldn't expect it to actually manage 62mpg, but I am interested whether it would nonetheless be more efficient than the earlier year 160bhp engines.
However, towards the end of the production, the Business Edition models seem to get a 160bhp version of the engine with £30 road tax and a claimed 62mpg. Earlier on in the Mk4 production, the 138bhp version was listed as being more fuel efficient than the 160bhp version. I've noticed that the 2.0 TDCI engine is available in various states of tune.
