The best I have ever seen with our focus is 40mpg, I would have to say It averages 36-38 on the highway. As for power it's not bad for a auto, I have noticed it goes better if you turn the traction contol off and keep the revs up !!

its not fair, i cant have a small car with a stick, even with an auto its dangerous.....i just always get the urge to drive it like a racecar. you wanna hear something stupid? try giving a 17 yr old with less than a years driving experience a honda civic 5spd for a week as a courtesy car. we are not talking bone stock here either, it had exhaust, cold air and some sort of a chip. civic go much faster than ranger. civic come back to shop with bald tires and non functioning E brake. and ever since then, every time i get in a small car i make big vroom.....tis very sad, looks like ill be stuck driving trucks forever.....

If you had to drive a truck for the rest of your life Joe, that wouldnt be a bad thing lol.
I remember wreckhaul awhile back posting something about a mazda that could really hold the revs too. He called it the poor mans ferarri, or something like that lol.

How many km's do you get to a tank strictly city driving Sherm?
I dont know what my psd would do, Ive never gotten a chance to strictly city drive.
I never got a chance to check my 97 for strictly city driving either. I dont remember how many km it got to a tank.

This past weekend I filled up in Davidson on the way to S'toon and again on the way home to Regina. I did some driving around in S'toon on the weekend and on the way home had the quad on a trailer behind the truck and got 17mpg. Highway driving was at 120klm, so I figure that's not to bad.
