Does a car get any more American than a Ford Focus? For years, people have relied on the Focus for smooth handling, easy cornering, and most importantly, excellent fuel efficiency. With both a hatchback and sedan style, the Ford Focus is a versatile crowd pleaser.

Drivers near Middletown, Odessa, and Dover are always on the lookout for a car that has stylish looks, but is also easy on the pocketbook. Look no further than the Ford Focus, which puts other cars to shame with its comfortable ride and superior fuel efficiency.

Things to Keep in Mind About MPG

Before we dive into the Focus and its fuel economy numbers, it's important to realize that EPA estimates about city and highway mileage are just that-estimates. You may see different numbers when you drive.

The main value for the EPA numbers is so that consumers can compare cars side by side. The EPA estimates are based on closed-track tests run by the auto manufacturers themselves. They are not conducted in real-life driving conditions.

You know what it's like to drive in the real world. Unlike a road test, you very rarely get to select a speed and stick to it. Real world driving involves stopping and starting, cruising and slowing down, idling in stopped traffic, then racing to make the light before it changes. All of these variables affect how much gas you actually use.

So, use the mileage numbers as guides to help you compare the Ford Focus to other cars, but keep in mind that your actual Ford Focus MPG will be determined by when, where, and how you actually drive your car.

Ford Focus Is One Fuel-Efficient Car

Looking at the two main trim styles for the Ford Focus, you can't go wrong with the SEL hatchback trim style. Sporting a 2.0-L inline 4-cylinder engine that puts out 160 horsepower, this car gets an EPA-estimated 26 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway for a combined MPG of 29.

That's pretty good, but according to Car and Driver magazine, in their highway tests, the highway MPG actually increased to 38 MPG. That's better than you'll find in a Chevy Cruze and even more than the Honda Civic.

The most impressive trim level of the Ford Focus is the SE sedan. With a 3-cylinder 1.0-L turbocharged engine and 123 horsepower, this car amazes people with an EPA-estimated 30 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. The Ford Focus sedan has a combined MPG of 34.

These numbers show you that the Ford Focus is absolutely one of the most fuel-efficient cars on the road today. It's no wonder that the Focus consistently outperforms the EPA ratings in third-party testing and why none of its competitors come close to matching its fuel economy.
