Ford is also hyping the new engine’s fuel efficiency, saying it will achieve 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway (US gallons), when it is hooked up to the 6-speed automatic transmission. The auto is even more efficient than the new six-speed manual, which is expected to achieve 18 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
