1L ecoboost is supposed to be dropped into the EU Focus by end 1Q 2013 for the new year... estimated at 55mpg hiway(EU) spec(US measurement). America wont see the 1L option until 2014, if were lucky..

55mpg in the larger focus seems fair, +1 for the fiesta, 60mpg should be reachable without much effort given (power:weight) and double over-drive.

With Old_Mechanic on this one, this 1L should of been the standard for the fiesta if i had a say so myself. This ecoboost with avaliable 123hp, compared to the 1.6L 4banger of 120hp only makes sense to have something smaller considering the output.
