Well, it’s official; the 2014 Ford Fiesta will be the first small American car since the Geo Metro to be powered by a 3-cylinder engine.
The turbocharged 1.0L engine adds three horsepower and 36 lb-ft over the stock 1.6L engine, which many felt delivered lackluster acceleration. Ford expects the EcoBoost Fiesta to be the most fuel efficient non-hybrid car on sale once it debuts. The engine, like other EcoBoost mills, will be an extra-cost option.

@krhodes 1 Info on military members buying gas in Germany. Definitely not free gas. http://www.gettingaround.net/pages/aafes.php or http://www.stripes.com/news/aafes-activating-fuel-cards-on-england-bases-1.81199
My first VW Type 2 Micro bus had 1200cc & 28hp. Got 32 mpg at 50mph. Rated at 1 ton.....of stone drunk coeds and hanger ons.
Let's face it. Car engines peaked in 1976. Until bio-petroleum becomes a viable option we will not be seeing a 7.5L or 8.0L for a while.
Good move for Ford - if this truly brings some much needed MPG differentiation between the US Focus and Fiesta.
