My wife's Lexus gets that and it's at least 1/2 of what I consider a car, the Focus is a Tonka Toy.

Your wife's Lexus sells for five times what the Focus does.

"Your wife's Lexus sells for five times what the Focus does."

What does the cost of the car have to do with anything, mpg/# the Focus mpg stinks.

The new Chrysler 300 gets that good of mileage and it's got 450HP!

I owned a 92 Crown Victoria that got 26 to 28 highway and better than 20 in city driving and it was supremely comvortable. I have a 96 Crown police interceptor that is much faster on the takeoff than the 92 Crown due to a lower rear end ratio but it still does around 20 in town and 23 or 24 on the highway. We had cars thirty years ago that got better mileage than quoted for the Focus. In fact my older brother had a 1952 Mercury that would do 22 on the highway.
