Save gas, time, and $$$, and give it (at max.) two minutes to idle before moving. The vehicle actually reaches operating temperature quicker when moving compared to idling.

Replying to: mz6greyghost (Dec 18, 2008 5:36 am) Yeah, that kills fuel economy. Just idling an engine can burn close to a gallon/hr, so you've wasted a 1/2 gal before going out of your driveway. I've noticed, just letting my '07 Expedition idle a bit more in the morning and when dropping kids off etc., along with single digit temps have dropped my avg. city mileage from 14 to high 12s. I never let it idle more than 5 minutes. Does anyone know for sure when the 2010 Fusion will hit the showrooms? My dad's 2000 Taurus is pushing 200k miles and he's contemplating a hybrid as he has a 60 mile round trip commute for work that is basically stop and go with little highway. He's thinking a Fusion Hybrid may be a good option. From what I've read it looks like a promising car. I like the restyle.

so i could check out how my fusion awd would handle a snow storm. i wanted slippey conditions and traffic. it did really well. was really good taking off from a dead stop. got by a struggling accord a couple of times when i was able to pull up next to them at a light in the not travelled lane, then just went by them when the light went green. |

| i have a 2006 Mercury Milan 6A , handles very nice in the snowy northern new england, i passed a Hummer !! without even thinking about it. and it was ugly out there.... | |
I bought a 2006 Fusion SE a few weeks ago, and have been noticing a buzzing noise in the dash on the driver's side when accelerating at lower rpm. If I accelerate harder or let off, the noise goes away. I found a TSB code 07-1-10 that seems to describe the problem... but I'm not really able to spend a lot of money to get it fixed. Does anyone know if this is a serious problem or not?
