The Focus in Europe is rated 58.8 mpg imperial which is only 48.9 mpg US. Its also their test cycle. The EPA rating would be much lower. This engine also wont be going into the Focus in the US, but they are planning on offering it on the Fiesta. I think it'll probably be a great engine and its nice to finally see something smaller than 1.4-1.5L in a US car.
