That I agree! The Focus is really hard on gas. Well mine is...

How many clicks you get on a tank?
Honestly, this may sound stoopid to some, but get a custom chip burned for the car. From what I've read and from personal experience you get better gas mielage with a custom tune. Yeah, youll have to pay for 91+ octane, but you'll see a increase of +75km on your tank.
The best I've ever done on my focus pree turbo was something like 506.....On my way back from Jays (whityby), I did 620+. :o (no boost)
How do you drive? That makes a huge difference. Driving 100km/hr instead of 130km/hr will add MPG bigtime. I'm not kidding, especially on our cars.
And why go to an SUV? Do you really need one? Look into a nice focus wagon with an SPI motor instead :D You should get better MPG from the spi than the escape.
