Ford shows off 67-mpg Focus Econetic

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/06/f...sterdam-debut/

We may have the 40-mile-per-gallon SFE trim on the 2012 Ford Focus here in the States, but European eco-warriors will soon be able to sink their teeth into the new Focus Econetic, designed purely with efficiency in mind. Ford claims that the Focus Econetic can achieve up to 80 mpg on the European testing cycle, or about 67 mpg here in the U.S.

Ford's road to super-efficiency starts with the automaker's 103-horsepower, 1.6-liter Duratorq diesel engine. That, combined with start-stop, smart regenerative charging, Eco mode and a revised final drive ratio allow this engine to perform as efficiently as possible at all times.

I'd like to point out, for those griping about the US getting the second-class headlights, that the Econetic is Europe-only and uses the same lights as we do.
