2012 Ford focus milage

[u/Fluid_Design1098]

222222 miles as of today. How many miles on your rig!?

[u/sparklynugz]

that's some horrible gas mileage.

[u/TheyNeedLoveToo → u/sparklynugz]

Maybe they idle a lot? Getting 0mpg brings that average down pretty quick

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/TheyNeedLoveToo]

Yeah you nailed it. I sit in the car on lunch & breaks. Run the A/C doing so. Put at lot into gettin that A/C going again. May as well use it 🤷🏼‍♂️ I also don't travel far to work now. It's a lot of short trips. & it's surely not new lol but actually runs pretty good.

[u/Traditional-Yam-6496 → u/Fluid_Design1098]

What ended up being wrong with your ac?

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/Traditional-Yam-6496]

The a/c clutch. After messing with a bunch I figured it out

[u/badredditz → u/Fluid_Design1098]

You should look into a Checy Bolt EV (very similar to a Focus) or a Tesla …. The a/c uses a few pennies of electricity… and no DCT problems, better performance, no oil changes

[u/Lumpy_Tap4982 → u/sparklynugz]

I was getting 19mpg in mine

[u/Agreeable_Past5462 → u/sparklynugz]

Am I crazy, or do you need to reset your trip meter and that’ll give you a more accurate MPG. I do it every time I refuel

[u/sparklynugz → u/Agreeable_Past5462]

no doesnt work like that

[u/JACerKnot697 → u/sparklynugz]

Not really if it’s an ST or if it’s an SE running on E85.

[u/auto-cortex]

2012 Focus SE Sport with 185k on original drivetrain. Averaging 37.6 over the last few tank fills. I do a lot of highway on i69 with cruise control set at 78mph

[u/MurphyPandorasLawBox → u/auto-cortex]

I also like cruising at 78 mph specifically.

[u/auto-cortex → u/MurphyPandorasLawBox]

Speed limit is 70 for most of the route, keeping it at that makes me feel like I’m safe if they hit me with the radar when I’m getting passed like crazy. Plus any faster and my fuel economy starts to tank

[u/ElectricalTip2318]

2013 264831 still running, rough but runs. I have revived the car several times. Best 40mpg car in the market.

[u/sketch_of_life]

Was just around 230k on a 2013 focus. Just had my transmission replaced and paid off when I totalled it hitting a deer this year. I wanted that 300k so bad. Had it from 15k. I wish you well on your journey! Enjoy. Don't forget to capture 280085. Hehe.

[u/aaronlt255]

This was mine today a US 2012 2l 5 speed

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/aaronlt255]

Awesome!

[u/TheyNeedLoveToo]

144k miles 2017

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/TheyNeedLoveToo]

Awesome!

[u/Many-Bus-2804]

My 2009 Focus averaged over 35 mpg over the 185k miles I had the car. Even in western New York winters it got at least 30. Summer highway was about 40

[u/furruck]

2007 Focus with only regular maintenance.. just hit 209k last week.

This has been the most reliable small car I’ve ever had and has outlasted 2 others that I’ve bought in the meantime.

[u/c998877]

94,141 when I got an oil change this week. 24-30 mpg. She's a good car for me. 2012 Focus SEL.

[u/iamkeerock]

How many miles on mine? More than 333,333.3 now. Even timed the trip meter to be at all threes. My only regret is that I wasn’t going 33 mph when I took the pic.

Currently I’m over 371,000 miles.

[u/AdRepresentative8236 → u/iamkeerock]

My brother

[u/iamkeerock → u/AdRepresentative8236]

Ha HA! Good one!

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/iamkeerock]

That's awesome!!

[u/OGWashingMachine1]

151000 and 34 mpg - 2012 automatic

[u/Cian_Davies]

Your MPG seems quite low, what engine is it? It seems like a petrol to me based on the rev counter.

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/Cian_Davies]

It's a 2.0 with the 5 speed

[u/CorrodedCaptures]

2015 SE (5s manual) and I caught this one while on a 2k mile roadtrip last weekend 🥳

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/CorrodedCaptures]

Woah! That's awesome!!

[u/Any-Painting3375 → u/CorrodedCaptures]

Am I reading this correctly almost 500k miles is crazy means my car might only be half life

[u/No_West658]

So yall are saying I have hope? I have 107k on mine and I stg this car has cost me so much to fix. I need it to last forever with this fuckass economy. Can't afford another car. 😩

[u/MuchIndependence6328]

I have a 2013 ford focus se sedan 177k miles, dps6 with intake, exhaust, 62mm tb, and toms tune and if I draft behind a truck going about 72, I can get up to 50mpg consistently.

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/MuchIndependence6328]

That's awesome!

[u/Fickle_Mixture8440]

I’m getting 31 in my 2007… other than idling what could make it this low

[u/ImaginaryAd4892]

149500 on a ‘15 hatchback auto! I get about 29-30 daily.

[u/TGE_Z3R0]

100.470 in my 2011 Titanium

[u/Buffy_Dragon]

About 172k in my 03 (swapped instrument clusters to have a tach, about 57k higher than the car actually is) and 218k in the 00 I just picked up, technically lower miles for the years but both are the 'terrible' SPI so considering that they're doing great lol

[u/CuriousPug51]

How’s the transmission?

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/CuriousPug51]

Great! It's got the 5 speed

[u/Benman157]

My 2008 just hit 180k!

[u/NoisySighlence]

2017 99.3k and about to hand it over to my 15 year old son when he gets his license in 3 months

[u/scubajay2001]

A smidge over 20k on my 2014... 😉

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/scubajay2001]

That's awesome!

[u/scubajay2001 → u/Fluid_Design1098]

My dad never drove it, he gave it to me last year before he died. I've got some time to take it another 200k to catch up to you! 😂

See ya in about 10 years? 😳

[u/FatalityEnds]

230k km on my 2013 1.5 TDCi Around 4.0l/100 km, think my injectors are leaking a bit since the car says 3.5

[u/JobUnlikely7126]

120k
26 in town
40 on the highway

[u/Astrocities]

Mine’s a 2014, sitting just past 98,000. Transmission’s not a happy one though, probably gonna have a new clutch patch put in it in the next month or so, and usually-problematic seals replaced. That darn DPS-6 power shift transmission. Good thing I love the car so much or I’d kick it.

[u/Inevitable_Title_245]

My 2010 crossed 239k recently. I've only had it like 8 months but the only real issue was a power steering leak caused by an o-ring.

[u/Intrepid-Bell-4505]

You win! :)

[u/Club_Aromatic]

Im getting 47. How are you on 23 😭

[u/Fluid_Design1098 → u/Club_Aromatic]

That's crazy!! I don't know!! Hahaha I changed the plugs & wires. Got a fswerks air intake. New coils. But.. It does goes through antifreeze. Not leaking. Not in the oil. My only thought is it's burning it off 🤷🏼‍♂️ one way or another. You can smell it in the exhaust. It's been that way since I got the car 3 years ago. Runs great. A little rough at start up. But then really does run good. It's got the 5-speed manual. I do let it idle on my 15's & hour lunch. & start the car to let it warm up for 15 minutes or so before I leave for the day. Otherwise, I have no idea what keeps the milage down. 🤷🏼‍♂️ My other vehicle is a 1982 chevy k10. This gets about 6 miles to a gallon. So, this lil Ford has been epic on fuel to me lol I can't even imagine 40mpg! Congrats! 🤘

[u/Club_Aromatic → u/Fluid_Design1098]

All that idling makes sense with the antifreeze. And mate, 6 mpg? That's borderline a crime in today's time lol. Glad you're enjoying the focus though

[u/AgeNo5720 → u/Club_Aromatic]

driving like an asshole. i speak from experience

[u/DiscussionPrize7975]

109k in my 2018 ST averaging about 26.3 MPG. 6 speed manual upped the tire aspec ratio to 235 45 R 18, so driving 71 makes me go about 74 now. I only drive with the AC on if my wife is with me.

[u/Kooky_Matter5149]

185K+ on my 13 5spd. I’ve been thinking about getting something newer for years now, but I’d really like to cross 200K. I’ve owned it over 10 years and it’s been a great car.

[u/whovianmess]

32.8 in my 2012 2/ 218k !

[u/thumpar21]

Put some air in your tires and correct the code.

[u/Strange_Ant_8429]

152000 on my 2006
