I drove a 2011 Ford Focus for several years and got quite familiar with its fuel consumption. The average fuel economy was around 8.5 to 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In city traffic jams, it could spike to 11 liters, but highway cruising could bring it down to about 7 liters. Daily commuting showed significant fuel consumption fluctuations, largely depending on driving habits—aggressive acceleration and hard braking could burn an extra liter of fuel. Vehicle condition also played a big role; for example, a dirty air filter or low tire pressure would noticeably increase consumption. Regular maintenance like oil changes and spark plug checks helped maintain fuel economy around 8 liters. Don’t underestimate these details—smooth driving and timely maintenance can save hundreds in fuel costs annually.
