Ford Focus EV Achieves 105 MPGe Combined EPA Rating, Beats Nissan Leaf
Reducing fuel consumption of gasoline and diesel engines is a must for every car manufacturer. All-electric vehicles have no such issues, right?

Ford announced that its Focus Electric achieves a combined rating of 105 MPGe, and gets 99 MPGe on highway and 110 MPGe in city driving. This is the best result for a five-passenger car in the States, beating the former “championâ€, Nissan’s Leaf, by 6 MPGe in the combined rating and 7 MPGe in the city - just as Ford had promised.
