Default Re: 2012 LW Focus Titanium with Sports Executive Pack

Also, consumption was mentioned previously in this thread. I got 4.4L per 100 two weeks ago and to get that economy you need to sit it on 2000rpm / 100km/h.

That was with roof racks, a passenger and a boot full of luggage, as well as included some stop start driving. Had I clicked the reset button on the freeway, not from home it may even have got down to 4.3. Without the roof racks? Who knows??

To get that economy you need to drive it to the conditions, generally using the gears manually if you have the auto.

The same trip back, my wife did most of the driving. Was in D and she got 4.6L per 100.

Can't complain! Oh, it was in a LV and each 'trip' was over 800+km.
