If you think that is off, then check it out.
My best mpgs on afreeway are in the 52mog range. though a few hills can cut inot that. Ditto a headwind.
In just under 5,000Miles my overall average is 36 mpg. Mostly city driving.
True i drive slooooow, and have the tires higher pressure than standard.
And i use Mobile One 0-W20 'green' oil. But the mpgs are real. And yeeah it is a gasoline ehgine.
Pity I cannot get 'real' (non-ethanol gas) gas, If i COULD get gasoline with no ethanol. the mpgs would be 10% higher.PS it is odd a few folks report crummy mpgs. part of it is the city driving. In the 2012 Focus, sitting at a light cuts the mpg significantly, so a lot of stoplights equals poor mpgs. i drive so i do not go on streets with endless stops. I use streets with few stops whenever i can
