Just wondering if anyone knows if such a thing really exists? One of the dealers on e-bay was talking about the Focus getting 28 "real world" mpg on EPAs website. Well, I couldn't find it. Any ideas?

I would think that nothing on the EPA site could be related to real world. He may have been referring to his combined real world mileage?

My modded 00 ZX3 used to get 29mpg around town and 36mpg on the highway. Really couldn't ask for more.

The "old" chart was pretty much on the money for me, except that I have gotten more than it states, 17-19 mixed and 25 MPG highway (cruise control 75+)
