I get about what DemonSVT does... around 22 or so in the city and 27/28ish on the highway (doing constant 85mph @ 3500rpm). Best I've seen was on the highway, doing 85 again off Conoco gas, I got 32mpg.
My old Zetec/ATX... Got about 20 in the city and 24/25 on the highway (doing 80mph @ unknown rpm, no tach). Best I ever saw was 26.
The Zetec doesn't have the power to move the car along w/o a lot of throttle. Duratec has more than enough power to move the car at speed.
