I assume you are driving an I4 auto. Isn't that rated 31 hwy which would make your mpg only 3 better than estimate? Still darn good mpg though for a mountainous trip at over 70mph. Also, I don't know exactly how the EPA estimates city driving but I doubt it uses the extreme example of downtown Atlanta or Chicago or LA. Probably some sort of combo of big city/small city so real congested areas will get a little less mpg and downtown city driving like Des Moines, IA a little better. That's why they say "your results may vary".

Yes, its an I4, but no its not an automatic, I got one of the few manual ones that they decided to make. Commuter to and from each day, about 10 miles each way, with mainly 4 lane that's 45 mph, and then drops to 35 mph I get about 25.5-26 mpg.

Maybe I didn't navigate the website correctly, but when going through the "build your own...." it doesn't offer chrome rims as an option. Only painted rims??? Did I just not scroll down or select the correct option? Doesn't make sense to me.

Price paid for new '09 SEL V6 by motoq2000

Helped my mom today with her purchase of a White Suede/Camel Leather '09 SEL V6. Installed options included:
 
MOON & TUNE PKG
REAR PARK ASSIST
REAR SPOILER
HEATED SEATS
SEL SERIES ORDER CODE
 
The sticker was $27,055. We were able to get it for $21,200. Not a blowout deal, but not bad either. I think it was close to the edge of what I could've gotten in my market (Boston). Three dealers had the same exact car, and I enjoyed pitting them against eachother. I exepected to get the car at $21k or just below, but no one was interested in playing past this point. She's happy with the car...she had wanted Moss Green, but it's real hard to come by now well equipped in the Northeast.
 
Note - I learned today that some Fusions can have the same equipment, but have different stickers. Like one of the 3 we found was priced at $26,640, even though it was an '09 and had the same exact equipment. The deal was that it was ordered in the last quarter of 2008 (December), and Ford raises its prices quarterly. In the end, that dealer would only go as low as the others, so we wound up buying one of the "newer" Fusions. The "older" lower MSRP car helped set the bar low from the begining though, so it was still helpful to have in the mix!

Nothing unique in that, all manufacturers sometimes change the MSRP during a model year.

Just bought a 2010 Fusion SE
 
Sangria Red
Sun & Sync package (moon roof, Sync System)
V6 Duratec Engine
Rear spoiler
Reverse sensing system
Floor mats
Am/FM/MP3 6 CD Player
Free Sirus 6-months
 
Sticker Price: $25,765.00

I Didn't intend to get anything but the basic SE V4, but ordering would have been a wait for 4-6 weeks. They only had 2 SEs on the lot, one V4 black and the V6 red, with similar options, with about $1,700 difference between the two. I didn't like the black color, so I said what the heck, and got the V6. So far, I love it.

good thing you didn't wait for the basic SE V4 that you wanted to order because they don't exist. However, if you wanted an inline 4, that's different. Anyway, congrats on your purchase.

Almost all modern 4-cylinder engines are "Inline-4"s. All four cylinders are in a single row (also known as a "Straight-4"). Most 6-cylinder engines are of the V6 variety- there are two banks of three cylinders mounted in a "V" formation (usually a right angle, if I'm not mistaken). There are also "Inline-6" engines, but they're far less common now than they were even 10 years ago. BMW is the only manufacturer I can think of that still uses an Inline-6.

V-6s are usually at a 60 degree angle, and V-8s at 90 degrees.. (not all, but most).
 
Almost all 4-cylinders are in-line. The only one that comes to mind that isn't.. is the Subaru, which has a flat-four (two cylinders on each bank, horizontally opposed at 180 degrees).
 
The last V-4 that I remember was on Saabs in the early '70s?
