Right now I am averaging 10.7l/100km in my Focus. A 2007 with a stick. That about 99% city driving. The tank I'm currently on, I'm trying my best to keep the RPM's low, below 2500 to see if I can get anything better, but in Georgetown your either going up or down hill. I have yet to run a full tank on the highway, or even half a tank. I plan on taking at least one long car ride this summer.

I wish Ford put the 1.6 VCT motor in, at least for Canada. Why do I need 2 liters and 140 horses to sit in traffic?

I know what you're sayin, there's no way to avoid saving gas when driving uphill, if you're in too high a gear youre probably being too hard on the drivetrain. At least you can use stick to your advantage when driving/coasting downhill. Mostly flat in Windsor, I been trying the burn and coast method, and have been getting 50km more out of a tank, but there's probably other factors involved too.
