I have recently brought a 2004 ford mondeo 2.5 v6 as a work hack what fuel should I be running it on to get the best milage and economy out of it?
I'm currently running it on 95 and getting 8.5l per 100 ks on the open road and around 10.5l 100 ks around town

Hi there,
I can't seem to find fuel specs for a vehicle of that age, but generally European vehicles use a minimum of 95 octane fuel. The combined/average fuel economy listed is 10.2L/100km so you are getting fairly good economy out of it.
