Well Im happy as a pig in sh@@. I finally got over 500km to a tank of gas in my 07 ST, I didn't think I could do it.
The stupid brochure said I get 42mpg and that is bullsh%t. I do about 85% highway driving and have even tried going the speed limit (the hardest week of my life) But today I hit 517km. It did hurt when I filled up at $1.10 though.
So is that about what other people are getting?

My last tank, the gauge went under full when i hit the 200km mark. The gas light went on when i hit 699.2km(my record is 701.1 to the gas light coming on). I filled up at 703 because of the approaching longweekend prices. So i did pretty good.

I'm averaging between 450 and 500 before the light comes on. Lower now since I want to hear the exhaust... :)

Because I do an insane amount of city driving, if I manage 425km until the light comes on I'm happy... The Focus despises the short trip to & from work and is only really good on gas when I'm booting down the highway....

Just did 600km exact(375mile) on one tank. the fill up was 10.1 gallons. That's about 37mpg on a 01 station wagon. From Gatlinburg,TN to Martin,TN, I hit traffic near Nashville and Clarksville or it would be even better.
i'm amazed.

most i ever got out of my ZX3 5spd was 620Km, this was on a long drive from TO to Cali. around Idaho i guess. Going flat for miles doing around 65MPH.
Wife used to get an average of 500 to 550 per tank in her 01 ZTS auto. This was mostly highway driving.
My green 01 ZX3, auto, average 500km per tank, driving on 401 from TO to cornwall.
I guess mostly depends on your driving habits, engine oil and millage on the car. I say Oil changes bc i have seen lot of changes when i change the oil and drive the car on the same road.
