2.0L Zetec on Twin Dellortos .. gotta be 40mpg gauge hardly moved!
Old crossflow was stupid mpg..

Zetecs are hard to beat for the money.
My £80 2.0 blacktop has has some hammering and never missed a beat, despite accidentally hitting 8100 rpm on one track day.
How on earth the the biker manage to fall off and hit you?

mpg was one of the reasons I swapped the pinto for the Zetec in my Indy.
It's much faster and smoother too.
I reckon my standard fuel injected Zetec is quicker than my K Series Fuel Injected Roadsport.
The Zetec zips up to 70 in next to no time, and it's just ace around the town.
If I built another car, Zetec would certainly be at the top of the engine list.
Best thing I ever did with that car... bar none !

40 MPG... I think I am lucky to get 28 with my Zetec St170 engine.... I do have ITB's though and about 175BHP....

Most of the driving was around a steady 50 with a few blats and a handful of nice overtaking. . Going from Crossflow 99bhp to Zetec 155bhp is
fabulous. . The 40 to 80 is very strong and satisfying

Came back on the Cat and Fiddle road after the Edinburgh Trial last October towing a trailer with the Skoda trials car. There are some absolute
NUMPTIES on that one. Big horse box overtaking on a blind bend gave me the willies amongst one or two more. There was a big cycle race going on but
still the nutters wanted to get on and nutsack to anyone else on the road. Cracking road imhabited by a few arsholes.
