Me too! That F150 and Fiesta drive showed me one thing, that the current 1.6 Fiesta is good but not great for mileage. We got 63 mpg across the country. Driving home from the airport after that, I drove my Civic the exact same way and got 75 mpg over 150 miles. I'd like to imagine the 1.0 turbo would be equal or better to that.
