average I get about 25 or 26, thats combined highway and City (mostly city). I would say its about right for a Zetec combined City. I bet if you drive nothing but freeway you will get somewhere arround 32 or 33. Thats if you never hammer on the gas.... but where is the fun in that?

I noticed in your sig that you have E1 wheels. Did you change tire size, too? If so, that could mean you're miscalculating your mpg. 
BTW, I get 28 around the city and 30s easily on the highways. 
edit: have you changed your plugs lately? are they accurately gapped (with feeler gauges)?
