14' Focus ST non-stop from Radford VA to Olney, MD. I think it did pretty great.

I hope it was fully loaded and careening along at 80+ if that's the best mileage it got.

EDIT: missed the whole "ST" part. I should eat something....

That's not super impressive.

Is that average for them?

Heavy foot, lots of weight, tons of hills, low octane fuel, gearing?

I easily get over 30mpg highway with my turbo Cobalt.

How fast were you going? I struggle to get 27mpg in my ST at anything over like 60mph.

hmmm you've only got like 1000 more miles on yours than I do. Maybe it'll get better. Or maybe there was some sort of software upgrade for the '14s...
