Both camshafts can be controlled independently on the Fiesta with throttle by wire and electronic timing control. My last tank in my Fiesta was 47 MPG on cheap Wal Mart gas ($3.409 a gallon). My gauge read 51 when I refilled. I tried 91 octane 0 alcohol gas and got about 2-3 MPG better per tank average, but it cost $4.199 a gallon. When the regular was $3.909 a gallon 6 weeks ago the difference in mileage just about covered the difference in cost, but now that regular E10 has dropped to the point where the difference is 70 cents a gallon it is not even close.
The difference in technology between the Fiesta and your old Chrysler is like the difference in the first us jet, the P80 and a F15. Look at the new SKYACTIV tech from Mazda to see the next step in engine technology.
