2014 Connect Ltd fuel consumption

Postby hoggyf » Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:16 pm

Wondered what others were getting MPG wise with the new connects, mine is a 1.6 Limited and averaging 43 - 45 mpg.

It doesn't seem to change much whether I'm commuting the 6 miles to work or going on a longer trip. Our 2006 2.0 Mondeo averages 47 and up to 55mpg on a run at 75- 80mph where as the connect at 80mph (on the autobahn of course) is only getting 42 average. Even my LWB Hi Roof Custom gets up to 39mpg on a long run. And I'm not flogging it every where either, on general running commute etc I get all 3 flowers lit up on the eco display.

Bit disappointed with the fuel, other wise its a great van, thought the power would be lacking at 115hp but its not.

That's not the 'new' Connect :wink:

You're missing the point, the OP's Connect isn't the NEW Connect, it's the euro5 1.6, the new model is the euro6 1.5.
