11L per 100kms?? Sounds like something is wrong... i do those km's in very heavy traffic, crawling usually for the last half hour of my journey and get 7.5 at the worst.....
Thanks for all your input guys, has helped alot. I went and drove a petrol one today, a zetec at that and loved it. it was good, i do admit i miss the torque of the diesel, but it sounded better, felt better and i feel it suits me better. Plus i know what to expect fuel economy wise and can budget for it.
Furthermore i can afford to get a Zetec Petrol, instead of a LX Diesel.
Right now its a case of talking price. They have a 5 Door Zetec Petrol Manual, with floor mats, In grey which is the colour i want for 21990 in their showroom. I have found a black equivalent, exactly the same for $1000 less, and a phantom blue one for $1500 less.... Tried to explain what i found and that they should be trying to beat it, but they were arguing they couldnt find it on carsales. I came home and found them straight away so i will be sending the links to them to show what else i can get out there. $20500 or less for a brand new 2011 WT Fiesta Zetec Manual i think is a good deal.... So will see how i go...
