1,445 Miles On One Tank, Ford fusion

Ford is currently working on a revamp of the Ford Fusion Hybrid that will effectively give it over 1,400 miles per tank. If the engineers at Ford achieve their goal, then they will set the record for efficiency of a mid-size sedan. This is a feat worth taking note of, because it could mean vast improvements in the domestic manufacturing of hybrids and on the entire hybrid industry as a whole.
The
2010 Ford Fusion
only has a 17 gallon tank, which means the car must perform at 85+ MPG to achieve the goal. This would be the highest MPG rating of any mid size car currently on the market. Furthermore, this test will be made on driving conditions which range from 20 to 45 miles per hour, depending on traffic. This is where the 2010 Ford Fusion will shine, since it is capable of operating in
Only-Electric Mode
up to 47 miles per hour.
Other benefits of the upcoming 2010 model year Fusion is the addition of software that maps your driving habits live. These programs will report back live on your driving impacts your fuel consumption. Consider it a tool for proactively improving your miles per gallon.
