Yeah, our dealings with Ford dealerships haven't been the best so far. Local dealers wouldn't get one in for a test drive when we were looking to purchase one. Ended up hiring one for the weekend instead before buying this one. Never thought of checking mpg in the one we hired. I have done the resets and done actual calculations i.e gallons used at the pump versus miles and that just shows the trip computer is quite accurate. I would have been happy if it was pulling 35-40 mpg but at 23-30mpg Solo it's a bit far off the mark to let it go especially when you consider that it should be lower Road tax due to the claimed mpg. Furthermore, a friend of mine has a lease car company and they can't deal with anything that returns less than 50mpg (they supply organisations like the Police, NHS etc) I never thought I would be so aware of mpg, I just can't believe that my Scooby Wrx is pulling similar mpg lol
