Undersized yes, but not too bad. Just drive it right and gas mileage is a good bit better than a duratec. Great thing with a zetec is on the highway, its best gas mileage is at 80-90.



The funny thing is, hes right. When I drove from midland to detroit for a meet, I filled up right to the top before i left, got down to detroit and I had used ALMOST a half of a tank of gas and put 170 miles on it. It was great.
