Were looking at getting something better on fuel and wanted to ask the guys with the 2012 focus what kind of KM's are you getting on a tank of gas. What size of tank is the new focus?

Give you an idea of what were getting with the SUV, 80L of fuel, gets us about 450km. Ouch.

Fuel tank is the same size as the 2000 Focus, 12 US gallons. Using 87 octane fuel, I get about 640 kms, on mixed driving, city highway and some rush hour. Using 91 octane fuel, I'm getting 710 kms, same type of driving. Apparently, the ECM can sense the fuel octane and adjust for maximum performance and economy. On a trip from Bowmanville to Ottawa, with four adults and all there luggage, with the A/C on, I averaged 42 mpgs.....using 91 octane. Go get one.
