Replying to: tlworkroom (Aug 07, 2008 5:06 pm) That's just because you put in new plugs, not because they were any specific type of plug. Replies to this message: tlworkroom (Aug 12, 2008 10:35 am)

Replying to: elkein (Apr 29, 2008 8:25 pm) Original Message: ____________ Fusion SEL /w AWD city only so far. 19.8 mpg on the display. This car was purchased used with 3512 miles on it. ____________   Update: Current milage 8,900 miles changes that could affect milage: added oem mudflaps(increase airdrag), hitch (30lbs weight,) Rotate and balance ( decrease rolling resistance,) touch pad keyless entry( don't laugh...increased airdrag ) Mobil 1 oil ( modified drivetrain friction ) New mpg figures, 20.4 long term average, highway/interstate 25.4( as advertised for this vehicle!) worst tankful 18.4 mpg. I haven't trailered with mine yet, that is next weekend. Spare me the speech about it not being in the owners manual. I do use common sense, and I own a f-series truck for anything that really needs hauling. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Aug 11, 2008 4:52 am)

Replying to: elkein (Aug 10, 2008 11:06 am) Just having more miles on it will also increase mpg, due to reduced friction.
#118 of 154 DIC by donl1 Aug 11, 2008 (2:53 pm)
I recently got a 07 Milan I Premier with the automatic. The DIC is always about 2mpg more optimistic than the actual mileage when I put pen to paper. A while back I had a 05 Ford Five Hundred with the same affliction. Anyone else notice this same thing? Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Aug 12, 2008 1:34 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Aug 07, 2008 7:47 pm) I easily understand your statement, because I've experienced that very easily myself. However, I had new plugs (cheap Delco's) in first, then decided to try the Bosch "+2" plugs, and that's when I got the better mileage. However, since writing previous message, I have remembered some other things which helped me to get that much better mileage. So I still think the Bosch plugs are very good for my car, but they probably didn't give me the better mpg alone. Plus....I think the Bosch "+4" plugs to be overkill. However, I think that "+3" would be cool.

Replying to: donl1 (Aug 11, 2008 2:53 pm) my '07 fusion is usually high by about .5, but the odometer undermeasures miles by about 2%. measured 40 mile run registered 39.3 on the odometer.
#121 of 154 V6 Mixed Driving MPG by kam327 Aug 13, 2008 (9:07 am)
I rented a 2009 V6 Fusion with 2,500 miles on it to tool around Nashville in last weekend. I spent some time on the freeways, country roads, and city streets. After over 300 miles put on the car, I calculated 21.1 mpg. That compares to about 24 mpg I got with a 4 cylinder 2009 Sonata rented the week before, with a comparable type of driving.

Replying to: kam327 (Aug 13, 2008 9:07 am) Mileage might be a little better after 5K miles - the Duratecs take awhile to loosen up.   The 2010 Fusion is expected to have more power AND best in class fuel economy. Due out in January. Replies to this message: caaz (Sep 10, 2008 8:37 pm) akirby (Sep 11, 2008 5:45 am) explorerx4 (Sep 15, 2008 2:48 pm) caaz (Sep 16, 2008 8:25 pm) and 1 more...
