Fusion Hybrid Guide Report post Posted December 13, 2008 Hey, Senator, check out the 43 mpg Ford Fusion hybrid If I had my way, carmakers would create vehicles that run off of hot air. It's the kind of development that might make the U.S. Congress useful. Really, the top U.S. legislative body should have convened in Los Angeles this week so its members could have seen the 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid in action. Rarely do you get the opportunity to see a midsize sedan average more than 43 mpg in city driving. Actually, no one has seen it before -- not even the distinguished gentleman and senator from Alabama -- but the new gas-electric hybrid developed by Ford does just that. While it takes a little coaxing to eke out those kind of mileage numbers -- hypermiling, the act of stretching every drop of gas, can be as tedious as listening to federal bloviation -- I was able to average 37 mpg overall in a mix of city and highway driving. That's a real world kind of number everyone should notice. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
