Their have been alot of good reasons given on how to improve ones gas mileage, (tire pressure, winter idleing,ect.) I work as an engineering technican and when checking your mpg make sure it is all hwy or city miles. I like filling up next to the Highway I'm driving and filling when I get to the destination. The 06 SE Fusion I had could get 31mpg hwy and 20 city. Other factors would be a head wind, climbing in elevation, AC on or off and also type of fuel Ethanol(10% alcohol) will get worse gas mileage. MY 08 Tauras gets18 city and 29 hwy. Ive heard that the 2010 I4 numbers can be as high as 34mpg maybe that will be my next car.

I was at the Minneapolis Car Show last week. Ford in general was getting good attention, more than GM. The 2010 Fusion Hybrid and the 2010 Taurus were hits. Too bad the $3400 rebates end tomorrow. I think for the next 1/2 year it will be $1700. They didn't have a 2011 Fiesta their, that would have been fun to check out. If gas prices go back up, these cars will save Ford.

I just bought one. The ride is great. Better than the Toyota Camery I tried. My elderly parents love the ride and the heated leather seats, which will be very nice for North Dakota winters. Driving the Fusion will sell it , it did for me.

I've looked on web sites, asked dealers. Being from North Dakota,(snow). If it is a rear wheel drive car, than no sale. Otherwise I'm in line to buy.

Does anyone know if this car will run on E-85? The 85% ethonal blend, which is selling for about 80 cents less than reg. unleaded?
