How does 357 klicks to a tank rank for a 2002 SVT Focus that's, driven mostly in town (probably 80%)?
Gas Mileage - Spinal - 11-08-2007
id say thats pretty good. my dads fofo gets 400 to the tank for pretty much all city driving. so for an svt i'd say thats pretty good.

Cool... I should also mention, that I'm not too easy on the loud pedal. ;)

someone will probably try and call bs cuz I know I would too but I got from london to north bay on less than a tank last month driving at around 115-120.. (1 notch under a quarter left when I got there). I couldnt believe it, and I have a crazy exhaust leak right now..

Sounds pretty good, im only getting around 520km now, with an SPI and 99% highway :(
Gas Mileage - Someguy_ca - 11-08-2007
520 would be great... But I highly doubt I could get that with an SVT. However , I think 400 is possible if I were to drive like a normal person. lmao
In case anyone is worried. I don't speed to any real extreme... 5 over in town (max), and 10-20 over on the highway.

I think I drive pretty normal, not too old manish yet, 'cause I don't own a Buick Regal anymore, but my Zetec gets 510- 540 kms per tank.

ok guys , i've got an 02 svtf and commute from east scarborough to mississuaga everyday except sunday,and my gas usually lasts for a little over 540kms on a tank.This is my third focus and it burns better than the previous 03 zetec and 02 spi.Kinda lucky with focus's so far

That's pretty decent... I average 350-400 around town, depending on my cruising habits... pure hwy is still over 600 per tank.
We can go from our door to my parents' door (~320KMs) on about 20L or so of gas. 22-23L if I hammer it (120+ at times).
That's an 07 ZX5 SES with ATX, but also with the FS 3" CAI, MBRP 2.5" flex-back exhaust and FS-tuned XCal2 (91 octane only) programming.
Trinifoci - you're burning 91 octane by default, so as long as you're not too aggressive you'll do just fine.

wow. something must be wrong with my car.. I never get 500 per tank highway.... Thats why i thought my trip was crazy
Gas Mileage - Flofocus - 11-09-2007
550-600 here, mostly highway.
Gas Mileage - Spinal - 11-09-2007
my fofo gets insane milage on the highway...if i do 100km/h i get 200kms per quarter of a tank. if i go to 120 i get 125kms per quarter of tank LOL, but the best one is, if i do like 80 i get like 250 per quarter of tank.
Gas Mileage - cornflakes - 11-09-2007
usually i get 450km before light comes on and that's 95% city driving.
Now that its almost winter i think the stations change the gas to winter gas (which you normally get less mileage) cuz now i only get 400 km city driving.
Gas Mileage - Spinal - 11-09-2007
what exactly is winter gas?
p.s. i noticed you live in north york, im going to pee my pants if you're a few houses away from me lol.

"Winter gas" is so named because it has additives to prevent fuel line freezing (usually ethanol which also acts as a natural octane booster)

I'm getting about 400 - 450 kms to a tank and it's all city driving.
Gas Mileage - FocusGuy7476 - 11-09-2007
seems about right, I get about 200km per half a tank in my SVT. I've been tracking my mileage since the day I got my car, it does pretty good mileage.
also a slight increase with a tune.

Ethanol will eventually eat your fuel injection system for lunch, especially o-rings and other rubber-based parts.
Go with 91... no ethanol at all!

Is that true even of a "winter" blend though? :huh:

Uh-oh. I've been using Sunoco Ultra 94 pretty much since I got the car, with the exception of getting gas at Shell on the way home from picking up the car that is.
