I do a fair bit of town driving, but I average around 45mpg, as opposed to the diesel's 50mpg. They're cracking good little motors, and Ford's 1.0 unit is equally impressive - my daughter drove a Focus equipped with one, and couldn't believe the smooth delivery and adequate performance of such a small engine. They're the future.
