well, they do cite it as 19 city, and I bet it's more like 0.5 mpg when doing real aggressive driving.
I would love any of the cars with the ecoboost turbo engines. I really hope they appear in the 2012 focus. My wife wants a new car and she's looking at VW TDIs and we may have two cars to shop if Ford offers a fun to drive and fuel - misering turbo car.

Oh, and I washed the Mustang off for the first time in a year and drove it for the first time in weeks today. Man it was fun. Glad I have the escort so I can afford to drive the 'stang on occasion and not swear at the gas pump weekly when I fill up.
