Do the figures using a Mondeo diesel that averages about 6L/100km for city and country driving. Not to mention the longevity of diesel engines and knowing 1200kms is possible on a full tank.

The Mondeo wagon's capacity seems on par with what else is available and obviously meets your needs. Do checkout the hatch as it to is deceptive on how much space is available with the rear seats down. If suitable it broadens the range of Mondys you can choose from. Petrol and Diesel.
