i had a 115bhp tdci mondeo and never once got above 50mpg in three years of ownership!
most of the time it was closer to 40mpg even on mainly motorway runs!!
cant see the 130 or 155 being any better.
i did look at the mondeo st tdci when i was in the market for a new car but at the time all the ones available were either rough as (especially the alloys take a battering) or very high milage.
i ended up on a wim test driving an alfa 156 2.5 jtd 175bhp
in fact that swayed me so much in test drove two more and then went back to buy the 1st one!
havent looked back, average 45mpg i would say over myn ownership, and returns 55mpg on a run at just over the limit
and thats four up with baggae
