The Ford Focus is a compact car that offers good fuel efficiency. The EPA estimates that the 2022 Focus will get up to 31 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway with the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and 37 MPG city and 41 MPG highway with the turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. These figures are for the sedan; the hatchback body style is slightly less efficient, with an EPA-estimated 31 mpg city/39 mpg highway for the 2.0-liter model.
All Focus models come with a six-speed manual transmission, but a fuel-efficient eight-speed automatic transmission is available. With the automatic transmission, the Focus SE trim gets an EPA-estimated 31 mpg city/40 mpg highway.
The Focus Electric, which is no longer in production, had a range of 115 miles on a single charge.
Here is a table summarizing the fuel efficiency of the 2022 Ford Focus:
| Engine | Transmission | City MPG | Highway MPG |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0-liter four-cylinder | Six-speed manual | 31 | 41 |
| 2.0-liter four-cylinder | Eight-speed automatic | 31 | 40 |
| 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder | Six-speed manual | 37 | 41 |
| 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder | Eight-speed automatic | 37 | 41 |
Fuel Efficiency Tips
There are a few things you can do to improve the fuel efficiency of your Ford Focus:
* Drive at the speed limit. Driving faster than the speed limit can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 20%.
* Accelerate and decelerate gradually. Rapid acceleration and deceleration can waste gas.
* Avoid idling. If you're going to be stopped for more than a minute or two, turn off your engine.
* Keep your tires properly inflated. Underinflated tires can increase rolling resistance and reduce fuel efficiency.
* Use the air conditioner only when necessary. Running the air conditioner can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 10%.
* Get regular maintenance. A well-maintained car will run more efficiently than a car that needs repairs.
