The EPA has finished calculating the fuel economy of the 2011 Fiesta and as Ford projected, its new baby has hit 40 miles per gallon. The official numbers from the Feds are 29 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway for Fiestas with the new six-speed dual-clutch Powershift gearbox. Those highway numbers top the Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit by four and five mpg, respectively.
Fiestas with the base five-speed manual gearbox get a rating of 28 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. All North American Fiestas for now are equipped with a 120 horsepower, 1.6-liter inline four regardless of which gearbox is selected. The first batches of Fiestas should be on their way to dealers in the coming weeks now that production has started.The EPA has finished calculating the fuel economy of the 2011 Fiesta and as Ford... more

![Hey Fiesta Agents, what did you learn on the road? - [PS Wanna get on TV?]](http://i2.crtcdn1.net/images/spacer.gif)
I've been reading through some of the #fiestamovement tweets and blog posts from the agents, and @karakay's recent post, "End of Fiesta, Back to the Music" struck a chord (pardon the pun).
Many people supported my doing this contest, but many others weren't so excited about it. A few comments came my way stating, "this car promotion was distracting me from my music & a waste of time." While I understand how it could be seen that way I must say I think I gained quite a bit of knowledge in other areas of social media marketing that are going to help me as an independent artist. Things I had not much experience in, now I do. (Such as video editing.)
It's been a fun 6 months. Lots of inspiring events happened over the road that will be resulting in some new songs by this spring :) I did get to travel to a couple festivals and performed some shows this summer.
Six months is a long time to spend with a car while documenting the various adventures one might find themselves getting into. So I wonder, what else did these 100 agents learn while on the road? If you are an agent, send me a tweet @current, or leave a comment below. I'm curious to hear your perspective.
For those of you interested, take a look at some of the Fiesta Agents' profiles and vote for your favorite agent. The awards ceremony is on 12/1, so help your favorite agent get ahead of the pack.
Hey Fiesta Agents, do you want to be on TV?
Max and Jason will be covering the Fiesta Event at the LA Auto Show live on 12/1 (for info check out this post), and they'll be looking to capture the scene from the perspective of the agents in attendance. So agents, be on the lookout for our cameras, and tweet @current, @maxandjason, or using #current while you're at the Fiesta Event. Who knows, you might find yourself on TV!I've been reading through some of the #fiestamovement tweets and blog posts from... more

As a part of their Fiesta Movement we're partnering with Ford to have Max and Jason bring you the Fiesta Movement Celebration on December 2nd at 11:30/10:30c on Current TV. Before we dive into the details, here's some background information to give you a little context.
To kickoff the Fiesta Movement, Ford challenged bloggers, technologists, and any other social media enthusiasts to spend six months participating in a campaign called the Fiesta Movement. They received over 4,000 applicants, but only 100 were chosen to be "Agents of the Fiesta Movement." These agents spent the next six months behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta while traveling around the country completing 600 monthly themed missions ranging from Travel, Adventure, Social Activism, Technology, Style & Design, and Entertainment.
Each of these missions were documented using social media sites like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, 12seconds, and just about any other social media site out there. If your interested check out some of the missions, or if you're interested in what some of the agents are doing as their six month stint winds down take a look at the #fiestamovement hashtag on Twitter.
So, what are Max and Jason up to?
Here's the full rundown of what you can expect. On 12/1, the guys will be filming live at the Ford Fiesta Movement Celebration at the Palladium in LA between 11pm-2am E / 8pm-11pm P. They'll be spending the evening soaking up the event, and using Current cameras to get the unique perspective of the Fiesta Agents in attendance. Portions of their coverage will be streamed on the Max and Jason: Still Up page on Current.com, and live updates will also air on Current TV throughout the night.
Then on 12/2 Max and Jason will return to the Current airwaves to host the Fiesta Movement Celebration at 11:30/10:30c.
