other compacts.
“Falcon delivers the best fuel
economy of the three new compact
cars,” says Motor Trend magazine.
Owner reports and fleet operator
logs consistently show Falcon
mileage figures of up to 30 miles
per gallon with regular gas.
Falcon goes 4,000 miles between
oil changes, costs less to service,
less to license and in most places,
less to insure.
Falcon saves you more and still
gives you full room for 6 big
