Looks like the 2015 model (US) will have a 6 speed and two doors, both new for the US models. With 45 highway compared to a VX at 50 highway (current EPA ratings), I'll be watching for them to come to my local salvage auction. Maybe I can get one like my 2011 Fiesta that had no frame, glass, or interior damage, no air bags deployed.
Since I have averaged just over 45 MPG (49.5 today (indicated) taking the wife to a DRs appt) with a 38 highway rating for mine, it should be reasonsble to assume (begins with a$$), I should be able to pull 53-55 combined with the 1.0 ecoboost engine, maybe even higher on 55 MPH country road trips.

Or I get my 3 wheeler done and average over 100 MPG.

Dump the bikes and the truck, sell the 2011 Fiesta and get a small trailer.

Interesting times
