Mick, your auto is stuffed. I don't think converting to a 3 speed is going to help the problem. :P
Oh, it's your mums car? So you haven't broken your car enough, now you are going to break her car as well? Unbelievable.
If it is any use though, Ford figures say 13 city, 9 highway, so add around 20% and you'll be about there. So it probably is a little high.

I thought mine was usually a fair bit lower than that, but it depends if we are talking about city/highway, and we are also assuming the trip computer is accurate (which I never did).
