I bought 2007 Focus 2.0L with automatic transmission. I get around 30 MPG
which is a little on the low side. My last car 98 Escort Std Trans got
38-42. The car before that was a 91 Merc Tracer Std Trans 42-47. So
maybe
I should have stuck with a STD Trans. I know it would help if the Auto
Tran
had 5 or 6 speeds.
You doing about right.
