I normally get about 220 miles on my 2007 as well while on the interstate. There are two things you can do to improve your mileage. Keep your foot out of it or get the dealership to reprogram the computer. I know several guys who've had the dealer do the computer solution with moderate success.
 
Hey there, i have a 2000 ford focus. it's around 90000 miles.
i did tune up around 88000, new tires, oil change on every 5000, but i still get poor mpg.
it use up a full tank to run about 220 miles on highway. if i go 330 mile, i need to use one and a half tank of gas.
is it normal or a poor mpg, what is the main problem.
 
if engine runs good, make sure water in radiator gets to operating temp. driving down highway, hotter the water, leaner the mixture
