The U.S. EPA has released its latest fuel economy ratings and the 2014 Ford Fiesta SE with the 1 liter 3 cylinder EcoBoost engine and a 5 speed manual transmission had the highest mpg rating of any non-hybrid gasoline powered car, 45 mpg highway, 32 city and 37 mpg combined. Both three and five door models had the same rating. Interestingly, Ford will still offer the Fiesta SFE (Super Fuel Economy), which actually gets poorer gas mileage than the 1 liter EcoBoost SE, 30 city/41 highway.
In addition to being offered in the U.S. Fiesta, the 1 liter EcoBoost is available in five different European Fords. The turbocharged triple now accounts for 32% of Focus and 26% of Fiesta sales in Europe and Ford has doubled production of the Cologne, Germany assembled engine to 1,000 powerplants per day.
