I managed to get 55mpg out of a 1.6 Focus. Admittedly this was while in
France during one of their fuel tanker strikes and I had to cover the
200 miles to the ferry ****t on 1/4 of a tank. I drove like a nun,
coasted when I could and never touched the brakes.

OTOH, I can get mid 30's mpg from my 2.0 TDCi Focus at autobahn speeds.
