I'll add my 2 cents here since the major concern seems to be about speed and power. I too, was concerned. I'm pretty much a motor head and the FFH is my first hybrid. My other vehicles are a Ford 2012 F150 with the Ecoboost, 365 hp twin turbo and tons of torque. I also have a 1972 Chevy short bed fleet side pickup hotrod with 450HP and a BMW R1200RT motorcycle. I posted a couple weeks ago "I'm Still Impressed". Talking about how impressed I was about the surprising amount of power in the hybrid. Electric motors make max torque almost immediately. That, combined with the gas motor provides some very good acceleration and passing power. MPG does suffer with spirited driving. That being said I'm averaging 43-44mpg overall. I think it would be hard to see less than 36-38mpg no matter how you drive. The FFH challenges you to get good mpg, it's an on-going contest between my wife and I to see who does the best. It's a great car and in my opinion one of the best looking cars on the road............John

Thanks Murphy, I'll check that out.

I've had my Fusion Hybrid for about 4 months now. I'm still impressed every time I drive it. Recently I did some non-hybrid type driving....passing and faster driving. I pulled out to pass a truck on a long straight and was amazed at the acceleration. I easily and quickly reached almost 100mph! For the 4 months I am averaging 42-43 mpg overall and that includes some spirited driving. My other ford is a 2012 Eco boost F150. This is my first hybrid and I was concerned about having adequate power. Needless to say, I no longer have that concern. My car was an almost new 2013 with 4400 miles, Ford Certified with a better than new car warranty......so far no problems...loving this car!!! I do have a question......is there a gauge mode on any of the screen functions? Like RPM, temp, etc.? I find it strange that no vital engine information would be available. Thanks........John

Purchased a Ford Certified 2013 Fusion Hybrid SE yesterday. Loaded Tuxedo Black with 4800 miles. Have driven 121 miles and am averaging 42mpg. This is my first hybrid and I have a lot to learn and a lot of screens and functions to figure out. Also have a 2012 F150 Ecoboost. Think I'll love the Fusion as much as I do the 150.....looking forward to leaning on this forum......John
