Hi John. Congratulations on the new car and welcome to the NG. You'll find several Focus wagon owners here - myself among them.
I've never seen fuel economy figures expressed quite the way you've got it. Is that one litre to eight or nine kms? If so, that seems a bit high... Perhaps your car is still sorting itself out. My car uses about 9l/100kms or
31 miles per Imperial gallon during combined driving (city/highway).Rob

manufacturer rule of thumb is that fuel economy improves and should be most accurate by 10,000km so please give the car a chance to break in.also the fuel economy rating are designed to give you an opportunity to compare vehicles as they have to go through the same test.Is it a real world test?absolutely not!Will you ever get the results in that book?Doubtful.
