Ford to increase Focus production…
Are we finally catching up to the rest of the world in wanting to drive smaller fuel efficient vehicles? Now if we could get more motorcycles on the road that’d be great! 55-75 miles per gallon on my motorcycle! 
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - Ford Motor Co. says it will increase production of its Focus small car by 30 percent this year to meet higher demand. Focus sales are up 23 percent through March compared with the first quarter of last year. The redesigned car is taking 7.6 percent of the U.S. small car market. Dearborn-based Ford said Tuesday it will raise production to build 245,000 of the cars this year, from 191,000 in 2007. The car is made at the company’s stamping and assembly complex in the Detroit suburb of Wayne. The Focus can get up to 35 miles per gallon on the highway. Its increased sales are part of a market that is shifting toward smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles.
