If "running costs" are considered fuel mileage, than yes. It is pretty good on fuel. I'm pulling around 28 MPG in the city and about 32 MPG on the highway. Window sticker claims 28/36, but the car is still breaking in also. I am sure in another couple thousand miles, the fuel mileage will increase a bit...

I have a '12 Focus SE, I get 44 on the highway average in winter. In the summer I average 49-51. I have a 25 mile commute to work, so it is very accurate.
