Like I said in the BMW thread, I would never ever buy a fully electric car. They have so many problems.

Ford Focus is 59mpg anything rated 4.8l/100km is about 58/59mpg. You could probably get more if you can coast it. Don't buy a Manual and you will get better fuel economy aswell most probably. I've noticed on a few cars I have been looking up that the Manual version have slightly worse fuel economy. Not sure if true, but manual is just stupid in this day and age anyway unless you plan on going off-road.
