Just took my FFH in for service and the recalls noted above. I too am getting 10% less mileage.

I have had it a year next month and have 11,491.1 miles on it. For me... It is an excellent car for commuting. Great product with a few "accessory programming opportunities". I highly recommend the Hybrid Fusion.

I am glad I have the exterior door unlock system. My doors automatically lock when... I press the button to open the trunk, get out of the car and shut my driver door, and shut the trunk door. Is this something I can disable? It's almost as annoying as trying to run your climate system on vent, no AC. Any help would be great.

Receiver my check a week ago. Purchased my 2013 in September.

Yes I have a spare. I run a little higher air pressure and wanted to be prepared in the event of a flat. I doubt I will need it but feel better for the $145 I spent on eBay on the tire, wheel and jack. The FFH forum was a tremendous amount of help researching tire sizes and how to store the jack. And yes the spare fits in the spare tire compartment.

Average temp at drive time has been in the low teens for the past month! This yesterday we made it up to 65 degrees, drive time on the way home and my MPGs increased 22%. It hard to believe I felt bad about ONLY getting 38 MPGs. But this evening I hit 48.7 MPGs on my 22 mile drive home... Life is good!

The commercials for the FFH were well done...

Hybridbear, Thanks! Very helpful information... I took some smaller pipe insulation and placed it between the grill fins. It fits snug and is out of sight, easy to remove, and will not scratch the chrome on the grill. Should work...

I'm considering putting on a grill cover to help control the air flow... There is a lot of discussion on grill covers. Another forum member recommended the following link... http://fordfusionhyb...-blocking-more/

Excellent! Thank you...

Craig, I'm trying to find the gauge to monitor the ICE coolant temp. Can you give me any help here?

Sure is... I'm experiencing the same issue. It has to do with the ICE starting to create heat to warm the system. It is killing my MPGs... Are you running your heater immediately after you start the FFH?

I am thinking about installing a grill cover during the winter months. Highs in the 20s ans 30s for the next 3 months and I'm losing 10% in MPGs. When I install the grill guard, I want to monitor the ICE coolant temperature. I can't find the option in the driver information system... Help...

What are the most essential tips we need to know to improve MPG when the weather turns cold and outside temperatures are constantly below 30 to 40 degrees?

Great pictures and information! Thanks for sharing.
