I have 2001 focus zx3 with 5 speed. on mostly highway driving getting only about 22mpg. Live in florida so mostly flat, expected over 30mpg. what are you getting?

Hello Wetjetsoj,<br><br>I am in the same boat as you...I bought the car<br>in North Florida in late april and before I moved<br>to Wisconsin...I was getting about 30mpg,<br>but now I commute and the little car just doesn't<br>like life in the fast lane as now I only get 25<br>if I am lucky, last week I only got 22 as well,<br>well to be fair that is at about a speed of 75..<br>but its just too hard to set the cruise on the<br>little car at 65mph. But in-town it does get<br>better...I just wish that Ford would have taken<br>the time to better design this engine, it can be<br>so much better, well I hope things change when<br>I open the exhaust system by changing to a Big<br>Borla Cat-back system, for more torgue and a<br>freeier flowing exhaust.

I have over 4500km (3200miles) on mine and I am still getting lousy gas mileage. I reckon I get about 20mpg around town and 25on the highway. I dont believe EPA mileage figures as they probably test the cars driven by little old ladies who dont go over 30mph. Needless to say I love my black ZX3, its such a riot to drive!

sorry to hear mileage is not just my problem<br>i do not plan to let ford get away with it.<br>if you get better mileage with changes you are planning, please post so we all can benefit, as otherwise i love car.
