I have to agree with Ken mate. This thread was designed to show the average fuel consumption, not instantaneous. Everyone drives differently, and the figures Ford quote are averages completed in a controlled environment.

Please don't be fooled by the ECOboost badge on your ST. Yes, they're extremely fuel efficient, but a Trend should be more efficient, just like your vehicle is much more powerful.

Back on topic, I'm averaging 8.1L per 100km. All city driving with short stretches at 60-80 km/h. I'm stoked. The vehicle just had its 15k service though, and the transmission is seamless now. Loving it.
