I was just wondering how many KMS you get from a tank of super in the SVT focus or even the regular focus' :blink: .

Thanks

I'd have to say around town I get about 400-450km's. Highway is usually 550-600 or so. The mileage went up once I put the blower on... If you keep your foot out of it.


'02 SVTF

400 around town if I'm lucky! But I still have less than 4000km so she ain't too loose yet I guess.

I get around 450 km city and around 600 - 650 km on the highway. It really depends on my speed. I did 40 m/g once.

ahhh the fuel consumption of the SVT's.... :( ...this is not an econo car... :lol:
mine its on the 370 to 400 kms per tank only (no complaints..)...and I try always to use Sunoco 94.!!!got to love it..!

I dream of those distances I get 250 km's of 94 sunnocco inthe srt thats in city and on highway I get a whopping 325km's and its a 40 L'er tamk

On the highway, I've run to over 600KMs (690 is my record till the reserve light kicked in) before the reserve, so about 750KMs and up total range. That's two of us with a trunk packed full of camping gear.

In town, probably the 450-500 KM range. I never behave for very long, so it's around 400 normally. That's the SPI with the automatic, 87 octane.

i get around 400-450 as well, but that is just in the winter month's i don't really go long distances much but one time i went to buffalo i got like 675km before the light lit up, in the summer i usually get around 450-525km depending on how i drive... i noticed that when i came back from the buffalo trip, i got really good gas milage for like 3 fill ups, then after a long cummute in city driving it went back to normal! i think the SVTF's computer learns the long distance driving and puts in just the right amount of fuel to get good mpg. but in the end i know that our SVTF's run pig RICH!!

Thanks for the responses, i pretty much average, i got about 400 on 3/4 of a tank and with the winter thats not bad, Ive only filled it up once so far so lets see how far the next ank will go , since gas was over $0.80tre on the way into to work today (for regular) :o .

Holy s**t, the SVT's are getting better mieleage than the regular Zetec. :blink:

On regular fuel for my Street Edition Focus with 5 speed I get 450 - 525 km/s per tank with mixed driving between highway and city, more highway then city though.

If I splurge and buy the 50 / 50 gas or the really good stuff the gas milage increases slightly usually it ranges 500 - 575 km/s per tank of fuel, again in mixed driving and mainly highway.

Best gas milage I've got in a Focus was just under 900 kms and that was from North Dakota boarder to the middle of Montanna. Course I was using cruise control all the way, and was using really really cheap american Super blends from Mobile and Exxon gas stations.
