The tires I have on my car are the ones from the factor with the 18 inch rim combo. How will my fusion perform in the Snow? I am slightly concerned about this because I am use to all wheel drive. Is there a better Snow tire that will help me maintain excellent MPGs?

By the way rjent, thanks for the suggestion, only downside to the eco route is it adds 20 extra miles one way and another 60 minutes to an already 88 minute commute so sadly thats not dooable If I were to take the ECO route I would actually use more fuel but get better mpg, not sure how that would really be more eco friendly LoL However now that I know theyhave updated the mpg it makes me much happier to know that I am doing very well

Thanks DarrellD, In that case I am doing very well based off the updated estimates! Glad I posted this and glad I am getting a goodwill payment as well

So I am curious what I am doing wrong in getting optimal mpg with my Fusion Hybrid. I drive on average 200 miles per day, 62% Highway, 38% city Average braking score 94% (obviously an estimate) Almost always in the blue for: Acceleration, Cruise and Braking I never travel more than 5mph over the speed limit Average speed based of the standard d=rt for my average on trips is 66.54545 miles per hour My Odomter trip average says I am getting 41.5 mpg Fuelly says I am getting 40.3 mpg (not sure why there is a difference but it's within 1mpg so I am not too concerned) But can someone explain why I am not even getting close to the 47 mpg, of all 26 fill ups, only 1 fill up has been at or greater than 47 mpg I do live in Colorado, not sure if this is the main culprit but one would reason since I am doing the same round trip every day the uphill one way would negate the downhill the other way and the average should be closer to the advertised mpg. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do better? By the way I have found that doing the exact speed limit versus 5mph over only offers a difference of approx 0.4mpg increase Are others finding similar stats? Or should I stop worrying about it and be happy that I am getting 40+ mpg every day. Also I try to stay in the blue as much as possible when accelerating, and am not a heavy footed driver Other factors: Oil changed, tires rotated every 5K Regular Fuel used 11K miles on the car Use Adaptive Cruise Control a lot with 3 bars seperation Also have lane assist

Thank you so much for your help!

I am trying to figure out what the maintenance cost will be (approx) for my new 2014 Fusion Hybrid. I will be doing between 35K-50K miles a year. Does anyone know? Also how long do these hybrid batteries generally last?

I am trying to find out if what the salesmen said is accurate; He told me that Hybrid tires will last longer than standard tires. Is this true, how long do most people average?
