The trouble with the 1.4 is it's too small/underpowered to drag a heavy estate. Very little torque from them as well so they need to be worked hard to maintain speed. I learnt to drive in a 1.4HDi 206 hatch...that was ridiculously slow even as a new driver and without the added estate weight lol!
The 1.6TDCi in my Focus averaged 57mpg over about 30k miles/3.5 years. Half of that was with a 140bhp map so I'm surprised you don't get a bit more from the Fiesta.
