Since the Focus gets twice the rush hour
mileage of
my Trailblazer, it will pay for itself in about
nine months. It
only needs to have the filter
replaced every 100,000 miles (which for my
driving
is about every three years). It looks like a
large percentage is
labor. Body panels need to
be removed to replace it.

Sound similar to replacing the timing belt in my Audi A4. The entire front end
of the car has to be removed.
Doubles the cost from a 'normal' car.
