My average MPG is now at 27.3 MPG!! (per the computer) Can you believe it?? I do mostly highway driving by the way.. If it gets this good of MPG now, I am betting I hit a good 30MPG HWY no problem. I had the Duratec 3.0 in my Escape. Having had this car now for a month I notice this engine is much smoother and quiet at idle. You can't even tell the engine is running, unless you look at the tach. Thanks for the link on quality. I wonder why this wasn't on the news or in the paper??

in my Fusion SEL V6. Took the wife and kids over into central Oregon for a few days of fun. I am telling you, this car drives and handles like cars costing thousands more. Cruised at 65-70 and my average MPG with A/C running and crossing the Mountains, was 26.7 MPG!! Not bad in my book. The car only has about 2400 miles on it. I am really curious as to what the mileage will be when the car hits over 5,000 miles. V6 was strong and confident going up steep climbs. Cabin was quiet. At times I even popped the sunroof in the tilt position and still pretty quiet. The more I drive this car the more I love it. The more I know I bought the right car. Ford has a great sedan again in its fleet. The car is proving to be built solid and reliable. In another forums room a person already has 10,000 trouble free miles. Now its time for the media to take note and recognize this!!

3500 miles and 13.9 mpg per computer. This car is NOT FOR NY CITY DRIVING! And with hot weather and A/C on, just got 10mpg on last fillup. This tin can car is a P-O-S! A Bentley gets 10 mpg. A Honda Accord averages 30 mpg. What is the lemon law on returning cars with BELOW avg mpg??

My Fusion SEL V6 just dropped from 27.4 average to 26.8 average. Maybe I need to keep my foot out of the pedal a bit more?  diang, take it back to dealer, have it checked over. 13.9 is way, way low. Driving habits also are a key factor in MPG. |

I'm just back from a 400 mile trip in my SE 2.3 auto. Tested fuel mileage at different speeds and found the i4 is very sensitive to speed, compared with the v6 in my previous car. The terrain is a little rolling. I cruised at each speed for about half an hour to get an average reading. Here are the results: 65mph: 36mpg 70mph: 33mpg 75mph: 29mpg Having learnt that, I settled on 65mph for the rest of the trip. Again, a V6's optimal speed should be higher. btw, I haven't reached 1000 miles yet. After breakin, how big an improvement can I expect? |

Replying to: glastman (Aug 29, 2006 8:48 am) The idea of breaking in is to let allow all elements to fit each other. You do it by allowing your car regularly through upshifts and downshifts and not revving it. You probably did not ruin anything yet, but do not use cruise control for another few hundred miles and do not go with constant speed for extended periods.
