Best you can expect from a 1.6 diesel Elantra without hypermiling (conservativr driving, all highway) is around 60 mpg or less.

The 2.0 the Cruze uses is good for around 50 with a stick, maybe. The auto around 45 mpg, I'd wager... Though I never got to try it on a long highway trip.

Ford here in the ASEAN has also basically said it's not worth bringing the new Focus TDCi in. Shame. The old one could get 50 mpg and hit 60 mph in 7.8 seconds wiith the 135 hp engine. The new one should be spectacular.
