Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / May 2004millage
Hi ..just bought a brandnew 2004 Focus stationwagon ZTW. My millage sucks and is not anywhere near what it should be. Get about 1:8 or 9......is this normal and what millage do you get.?? Thanks John Folkers Hi John. Congratulations on the new car and welcome to the NG. You'll find several Focus wagon owners here - myself among them. I've never seen fuel economy figures expressed quite the way you've got it. Is that one litre to eight or nine kms? If so, that seems a bit high... Perhaps your car is still sorting itself out. My car uses about 9l/100kms or 31 miles per Imperial gallon during combined driving (city/highway). Rob ------------------------------ > Hi ..just bought a brandnew 2004 Focus stationwagon ZTW.
