more Ford has announced plans to introduce a new generation Ford Focus for the 2019 model year. That means models based upon the current Focus—like the Focus RS—will be no more. At least in their current forms. But the Focus RS isn't going out without a bang, and that bang is the 2018 Focus RS Limited Edition. These final 1,500 vehicles are enthusiasts' last chance to drive away in the current-generation RS, and they look spectacular. Ford elevated the Focus RS to the next level for this limited edition by taking inspiration directly from the fans. One individual posted a Photoshop rendering of the Focus RS in red to a forum, and other forum members responded to say how good it looked. If only they made the RS in red! Your wish is Ford's command. Among the new features for the 2018 Focus RS Limited Edition are: Available Race Red body color Black roof Black mirror caps and spoiler Black painted 19-inch wheels with blue RS logo Carbon fiber-wrapped handbrake lever, door handles, turbo-boost gauge Mechanical Quaife® limited-slip differential If you want to enjoy one of these ultra-rare performance hatchbacks, contact Sexton Ford to order.

City driving can wreak havoc on the fuel economy of your vehicle. The main offenders here are idling and accelerating. It cannot be avoided, at least on most days and especially during rush hour, but there are some things you can do to lessen the damage done to your fuel economy. First, when you are idling, try to keep your air conditioning or heat off. These tasks make your engine run a little harder, thus taking more fuel than if they were off. more Secondly, when you accelerate, do so slowly. Do not pretend you're on a race track and trying to beat the driver beside you to the next red light. This takes more fuel than necessary, puts more wear on your engine than need be and you will probably just end up idling again at the next red light anyway. These two tips will help a great deal in you saving gas.
