Focus zx3 mpg?

Apr 19, 2005 5 Replies

Hey.....I'm looking at a used 2002 Focus zx3 automatic and was wondering about the MPG I could expect to get. I plan on doing at lot of commuting these next few years and need a car that gets great gas mileage. Any other things or problems I should know about? Thanks for any advice, Rob.


I'm averaging about 30MPG on mine, but it's got a manual gearbox. I'd guess that an auto drinks about 10% more, so would estimate you'd get about 27MPG.

Most don't get this high, but my '01 ZX3 (5 spd) gets 35-40 mpg. 37-38 most of the time. 35 in winter. 33 when it was new. Maybe 70% highway. I accelerate gently and drive at 60-65 on the highway.
