Tell me about it. I had an SMax 200bhp Ecoboost for 3 months. All boost and no Eco. Went like stink but you had to drive like a granny to get 25mpg. Was more like 18mpg driving to keep up with normal traffic flow on my 25 mile commute. Even on a very steady run on the motorway at 70mph it would do only 25mpg. I never got anywhere near the official figure of 34mpg. I had a 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta as a loan car for a day and that was not much better |
