Default Fuel Consumption on your Focus

Okay, we may have an FC thread somewhere down the list.. but got too lazy to go beyond Page 6 to try to find it. Just thought I'd start a thread to see what FCs you guys are getting from your ride (all Focus models inclusive) as a comparison as it does seem like mine isn't all that great (without being too heavy on the right foot)

Model: 2011 Ford Focus Trend
Generation: LW
Type: 2.0 Petrol PowerShift
Driving style: 50% City : 50% Freeway
Fuel Consumption: Avg 8.5 - 8.9l / 100km (450 - 475 km @ 40 litres)

Yes, but the sound it makes is worth every bit of the extra 3 litres / 100 sacrificed

Recent trip from Melbourne to Sydney

If we were brave enough in the Fiances 2009 Manual 2.0L CL LV Sedan, No Cruise, we would have got 735kms from the tank !!!!

Average Fuel Usage was between 6.8-7.3L/100 with a gentle right foot !!

Better Mileage than my tuned XR6 with a bigger tank !

its the wife's car so i've just grabbed that 9.1 off the trip computer. have no idea how close it is to reality.

also its best to include the 'ave km/h' in these economy threads as it tells half the story.

based purely on my recent roundtrip to Adelaide via Melbourne and Dunkeld (edit: that's from Sydney - approx 3800KM in 7 days )

Model: 2007 Ford Focus Zetec
Generation: LT
Type: 2.0 Petrol Manual
Driving style: 95% freeway / 5% city
Fuel Consumption: Avg 6.7L / 100km (computer reckoned it would get between 750-780 each time I filled up)

normally it's 95% city, 8.7L/100KM and about 600KM/tank

Default Re: Fuel Consumption on your Focus

Model: 2010 Ford Focus TDCi
Generation: LV MkII
Type: 6sp Manual
Driving style: 70% Country + Freeway/30% City + in town
Fuel Consumption: Avg 5.7 litres per 100km.

On the freeway much better and in Melbourne (my partner was in the Royal Melb for five days from New Year) while the Tulla Fwy is being ripped up and relaid, a bit worse.

I think if I cruised the Calder Fwy day-in/day-out and didn't go into Melbourne it'd be probably slightly less 5 litres per 100km.

All up under half the historical fuel consumption of my Magna and better fuel economy than my 900cc motorbike.

My old ST was very good over 800k per tank on the hyway(6.5lt/100k) and around 550~600(10ish/100) about town... or less than 150 if you booted it everywhere!
Cant believe the newer Foci struggle too achieve this... even tho the old ST would kick their ****?(not including the XR5 obviously). Don the flame suit... I guess the old original Duratec 2ltr is still a better motor!
