The manual Mondeo returns a fairly decent fuel consumption figure. My 55 litre tank would regularly return about 425-450 kms before a top up (with about 10 litres in reserve). So thats about 8.5 to 9 kmpl on an average which is not bad for a car of its size. I do not calculate city and highway separately because its the overall cost that matters. Would you stop driving in the city just because a car offers you slightly lower FE in that environment?

Never buy a D segment car for fuel economy - even if it comes cheap. The economics there are not in FE figures but in maintenance costs.
