Ford Fiesta EcoNetic is also good for a rated 51.4mpg


The primary modifications that get the car to such stratospheric returns include aerodynamic rear air deflectors, lowered suspension, optimized rolling resistance tires in a suitable size (175/65R14) and low friction oil, ‘green’ shift indicator light, modified engine calibration, and a transmission final drive ratio changed from 3.37 to 3.05
Rated at a combined efficiency of 76.3mpg (Imperial gallons) or 63.6mpg by U.S. standards (or 3.7L/100km), the EcoNetic Fiesta is also good for a rated 51.4mpg U.S. (4.57L/100km) in the European city cycle and 73.6mpg U.S. (3.2L/100km) on the European ‘extra-urban’, or highway cycle.
