I've read the site and also wish I had the cash right now... alas, perhaps
in the future.

I see where it talks about possible mileage results but I missed the part
that talks cruising speeds etc.

I currently have a transaxle from Darryl that allows me to cruise at 70 at
about 3600 RPM and on a good day I get 19 MPG.  What's driving performance
like on the Zetec?  My SO drives around in a Focus 5 door (its an
automatic...) I'm just trying to imagine that motor pushing my 4000 pound
bread box down the road.

Convince me!  My motor is old and tired!

James
