Ford has finally released EPA-certified fuel economy numbers for the 2011 Fiesta, and as expected they’ve bested the competition. When equipped with its optional six-speed PowerShift dual-clutch automated manual, the Fiesta is rated at 29 mpg city and 40 highway. Equipped with the standard five-speed manual, the ratings are 28/37 mpg. That means the Fiesta tops both the Toyota Yaris’s best rating of 29/36 mpg and Honda Fit’s best of 28/35 mpg.

The official numbers are pretty close to Ford’s earlier predictions of 30/40 mpg with the PowerShift and 29/38 mpg equipped with the manual. Even though it’s a fuel sipper, the Fiesta is still fun to drive, like its Euro forebears.
