The Ford Fiesta ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi has impressed during its run out in the 2012 ALD Automotive / Shell FuelSave MPG Marathon.
In challenging weather conditions, the vehicle ran up 108.78 mpg over the 370-mile route – and the carmaker said the achievement shows that the cost of maintaining a family motor can be reduced via smarter driving.

Ross Durkin, organiser of the event, explained the MPG Marathon is designed to be representative of everyday driving.
