Dissappointed.
Had an 1974 XB 2-door for the last 5-years, it was a 260 6-cyclinder, original motor (changed the oil every 6-months & changed all the filters every 12-months) it just kept going with not much maintenance. Just purchased a 2003 BA 6-cyclinder, good car goes well, etc but dissappointed with the amount of fuel it uses. I do not use air-con very often and do not drive hard. (I got use to driving slow from the XB with a 30-year old motor in it) so very rarely put my foot down. The XB uses slightly less petrol then the BA. Go figure! You would think that after 30-years they would be able to make a ford use less petrol! But not the case. Very dissappointing (but not if you are an oil company or the goverment raking in the tax).
