I don't have any instrumentation on the Focus yet. I just go by how much gas it takes to fill it up at the pump. This was my first real attempt at mpg-by-style aside from just 'taking it easy'. The last car I had would vary 13 mpg from 'taking it easy' to 'drive like a jerk', while the focus only seems to change 1 mpg between the two; it's just very curious.
What kind of speeds and rpm are you turning on the highway and are you up north where it's still relatively cold? Sorry just re-read it. Curious indeed. Is this the only 2 tanks you have checked?
