What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the 2006 Ford Focus

2006 Ford Focus Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 We consistently get 30-33 mpg on the road which puts it at the bottom of the barely acceptable IMHO. Still, that's better than most we looked at cars of that age. It has a small, but peppy engine that gives us all the power we're interested in. see full Ford Focus review
2007 4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Mileage isn't that great for a car its size (28-30 mpg highway), but it's still pretty good in the scheme of things. Also helps that it works fine w/ 87 octane fuel. see full Ford Focus review
2007 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 It gets over 32 mpg on the highway. see full Ford Focus review
2007 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Car gets very respectable fuel economy. It is not a standout with todays new vehicles, but will hold its own. 100% city driving is usually met with a mpg average of approximately 28. This is good considering driving style is not suited for fuel mileage. On the highway, as long as speeds are kept around 70, the car will return figures from 32-37. see full Ford Focus review
2007 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I have a 30 mile per direction commute to work, so fuel economy was of utmost importance. This car gets better than average fuel economy because it is very lightweight. However, I average around 32mpg highway (80% highway) and around 21mpg city (20% city). This is not the purported 38/29 highway/city mpg that was advised at the time of purchase. see full Ford Focus review
2007 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 30+ mpg with an automatic and using the A/C is great! see full Ford Focus review
2007 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Very reasonable fuel economy for a 4-dr car. see full Ford Focus review
2007 4dr Wagon 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 My average fuel economy is in the low 30s when I measure it manually, and an aftermarket trip computer reports 40+ mpg on the highway and mid-20s in town. see full Ford Focus review
2006 4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 If driven at 60 mph on freeway Have gotten 35 mpg.Most driving daily 65-75 gets 33 worst I have gotten was 29 mpg see full Ford Focus review
2006 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Averages about 25mpg. I have got 35mpg on a long stretch of driving through Montana. see full Ford Focus review

2007 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 30+ mpg really is not nearly good enough. see full Ford Focus review
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
