5-speed manual FWD		 Great balance of power and fuel economy. Average approximately 30 MPG in around town driving or high speed 70 mph plus Interstate cruising. At 55 MPH will deliver 38 MPG on long trips. Very consistent fuel economy after 55,000 miles. see full Ford Focus review
2004 2dr Hatch 130-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Fuel economy, although not great is good. Helps my daughter on a limited budget. see full Ford Focus review
2004 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I could go for days without filling it up if I drove like a normal person. I put almost 200 miles on it in two weeks so that good fuel economy helped. see full Ford Focus review
2005 Ford Focus Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2005 4dr Wagon 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Fuel economy at 30 mpg (average) was OK but not spectacular. I blame the 4 speed automatic for that and suspect I might have done better with the 5 speed manual. see full Ford Focus review
2005 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 It was only rated at 24mpg by Consumer Reports - and with a smaller, less powerful engine than the 3 (which was rated at 25) see full Ford Focus review
2005 4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Economy is somewhat disappointing for a compact - I average 22 mpg around town. see full Ford Focus review
2005 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Poor in town and highway. Extremely disappointed. I would not mind the 20mpg if this was translated into 0-60 times of 6 seconds - but it is not. I have no idea where the fuel goes - it is certainly not converted into power. see full Ford Focus review
2004 2dr Hatch 145-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Lower than expected (23-24mpg avg), but performance makes up for it. see full Ford Focus review
