Personally I think the 2012 Focus' out there have different fuel maps in them. Some are real gas sipping maps, others not so.
From the Fuelly MPg curve you can see it is a real curve. with some getting poor, many average and some really good MPGs.
Then driving. All it takes is a LOT of stops at stoplights and the mileage is totally screwed. And not so good habits.
I no longer go anywhere in town where the stoplights are bad news (if i can help it)
One can SEE the gas draining away sitting at a long stoplight!!!
The best is long no stop 35mph limit parkways.
30mph areas I drive at 32 mph so i can just squeek into fifth gear. (manual tranny)
I stay in the highest gear which the car will tolerate.
Freeways i go the speed limit, not faster. I try to keep from ever having to slow down, so being below the average speed is great for that.
I drive like a raw egg is under the throttle. I HAVE gotten honks from impatient drivers behind me getting underway from a stoplight... If they need to be in a big hurry, not my problem. I have my tires at 46 psi front 40psi rear.
I used to drive twenty over the limit all the time. Now I drive with my eye glued to the mpg meter.
Haha hah.
I love it at the fuel pump. i fuel up maybe at the most twice a month and usually only have to buy 3 or 4 gallons to top off the tank.
My last car got 22mpg. I HAD to buy a car which got twice then to even be worth getting a new car. i think i did OK.
