problem #1

Focus ZX4 SES 2.0L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

I bought my focus brand new in 2006 and it has gotten horrible gas mileage every since. My car averages about 15 mpg in town and about 19mpg hwy. I have taken the car in to many different dealers with the problem and I keep getting told it must be in the way I drive my car. Perhaps I accelerate to fast or use the AC too much. I can understand poorer gas mileage when you do use the AC but my car isn't even 3 years old yet and 15/19 is Terrible in my opinion. I have also been told by Ford dealers that the mileage on the window sticker is just an estimate which I also understand but the window stick was WAY off compared to what the car actually gets. I was told by ford to do like the gas cap says and to use BP gas. That doesn't improve the mileage at all. I have even tried premium fuel and nothing. I DO NOT recommend the focus to anyone.
