I've put almost 900 miles on my fiesta and it is an awesome car! But my average speed is around 22-24mph because I do over 90% city driving, so my mpg is about 33 and that includes some hypermilling techiques like turning the engine off at long red lights and accelerating slowly and anticipating when a light will turn red.

About the DFCO on this car, does it automatically do it? My old one didn't have it, so I'm new to it. I don't have to do anything do I? It automatically shuts off the injectors?
Btw I have a 2012 with the automatic Powershift tranny.

My old car was a convertible so the wind noise at freeway speeds was almost deafening. The Fiesta is such a change! I can do 80mph and it's nearly silent!!!
I'm about 6'1" 220 and I have plenty of head room, awesome car
