All this talk about km/tank means nothing! The only stat that means anything is mpg or L/100 km. Look, I have been unable to put more than 40 L in a tank ever, probably due to a fault (?) in Ford's design of the fuel fill tube and venting system ( I read this thread

a while back to see if I could find a solution). I don't mean to harsh anyones buzz but so many things play a part in fuel economy that litres per tank is a real ballpark kinda figure. Lets have anyone who posts about fuel economy (good or bad!) show us figures: litres and klicks. Since we are on the subject, does the SPI get better mileage than the Zetec? I seem to get 34 mpg (Imp.) whether or not I drive in the city or on the highway. Wierd.
