You hit the nail on the head. Theres no replacement for displacement. I put 1000 miles on a DSG focus with the american market 2.0 DI engine and averaged 35.5mpg over 3 fill ups with AC on all the time. At its best (55mph, 6th gear AC off) the 2.0 engine was well into the 40s.


It would be a shame to ruin the current focus with that 3 cyl piece of trash.
