This was back when I got the Focus. I can get this pretty easily now.

91cavgt , hope you have a quick recovery . Looking forward to your pics . Will you still be able to drive a stick ?

Thank you. I can drive a stick, but my doctor told me not to, and my wife got word of what the doctor said so no more sticks for me. So, when I bought my Mirage, I bought one with the CVT.

I would post up but I am not driving my Mirage since I am in a foot cast right now. It'll be a couple more months before I start posting more MPG photos.

Yes,wishing a quick recovery! If it was me,I would attach a rod/lever to the clutch pedal for left hand operation.

Kind of how they do it for the brakes/throttle in vehicles to be driven by handicapped/disabled people that I see from time to time.


Today's fillup:



562.1/8.167=68.8 MPG

That's impressive for the FOCUS and outstanding for MIRAGE

I just got new non-LRR tires on it so gas mileage is down a bit, but I have had a few 45+ mpg tanks. 43MPG on a trip isn't out of the question if I drive it right. Just had it aligned as the rear tires were horrible. They were toed out so bad it ate the OE tires in 30K miles!

It takes a while to learn how to drive a car. I learned that coasting in neutral isn't ideal for the Focus, but letting DFCO do its thing. The car also experienced a pretty significant jump in mileage a bit past 15,000 miles. Apparently it took a while for it to 'break in'.
