hey tuners,
is it me or is the focus fairly thirsty for a 1.6L.i'm comparing it to my shark(1.8L) which i sold to buy the focus.
I definitely got better mileage with the shark, filling up once every two weeks.
making similar runs i have to fillup once a week.
(normal tong to east runs in traffic)

is this normal??

you sure it wasn't your driving style for that period, or greater usage of the a/c at the time?
