Ford Focus Gas Mileage

The compact Ford Focus was introduced to America in 2001 and has undergone a restyling for the 2008 model year. Although the domestic Focus is available with a nifty MP3-enabled music system and LED ambient lighting, it is decidedly less economical than its European counterpart. While MP3s are nice, we’re all about the MPGs …

The domestic 2008 Ford Focus is powered by a 2.0 liter inline four cylinder gasoline engine that produces 140 horsepower. The manual transmission-equipped 2008 Focus achieves 24 city and 35 highway miles per gallon. By contrast, the most fuel efficient European Focus uses a 1.6 Duratorq TDCi Diesel to deliver 45.6 urban / 70.6 extra urban British miles per gallon … that equates to roughly 38 city / 58.8 highway here in the States.
