Lately I've been taking it easy on the old gal and I've been getting the best mpgs I have even gotten. Considering she's the heaviest weighing Focus (ZTW, loaded) with an atx, I'm not complaining.

WTF I hate you. I never even got anywhere near that with my regular ZX3.
Wait, let me guess. You did that with the car on jackstands and the cruise set at 55 mph

Na, I drove the posteds, but stayed out of the gas as much as possible and used neutral at stoplights. This was with a guesstimated 65/35% highway/city. I even used a/c when it warmed up enough. Coasted down a hill or two *still in gear.
I've never run her to 410. I've peaked over 400 a couple of times. When I refilled, she took in 12.9 gallons, leaving .3 gallon in the tank. Edmunds lists the ZTW weight about 180lbs more than a ZX3, and the atx mpg as 23/29 city/highway with 382 miles per highway tank. I must of got a good tune way back when lol.
