Even just putting in the same amount of £ as the petrol car buys me an extra 150 miles according to the trip computer
We have a (petrol) Honda Jazz 1.4 that matches my Focus for economy, but doesn't touch it on performance, even with the v-tech gubbins.

I've not driven a Fiesta, only a Puma, which is the same chassis, afaik - the steering was brilliant, really 'pointy' at low speed while retaining the feel at higher speeds for sweeping round corners & 'balancing' with the throttle...
