Replying to: ken74 (Feb 20, 2007 7:33 pm) I own an 06 SEL v6 and had this done. Having owned the car for almost 9 months and knowing how the car drives/shifts. To put it in a nut shell the car is more responsive. All 06 owners of Milans/Fusions should have the updated codes put in. Its under warranty and its worth it.

Replying to: mschmal (Feb 26, 2007 3:44 pm) the problem is more with the software and electronics not the transmission itself...if it could even be construed as a problem at all. |

I am driving about % highway/15% City driving: Picked up the car one week ago. I am getting 26.2 MPG overall since inception per the trip computer at 512 miles. I will be calculating manually as well once I have a few tank fulls. Trip computer says average speed 38 MPH so car must have been idling quite a bit at the dealer before delivery. I average between 60 & 65 MPH on the highway. I believe I will get closer to 28 MPG once it is broken in. I was initially questioning myself on getting the V6 but am sure glad I did.

We have 1,900 miles on our 2007 V6 AWD SEL and have consistently averaged only 13 mpg in city driving, which is 95 percent of our total. We have nicknamed the car "The Guzzler" because of the crummy mileage. Our terrain is flat, the climate is mild, the tire pressure is correct and we are both conservative, gentle drivers. We are very disappointed with our Fusion because of this wretched mileage.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Mar 04, 2007 4:48 am) The difference between 19 mpg (EPA city estimate) for this power train and 13 mpg is $539.24 EXTRA a year, based on 10,000 miles driven with gas at $2.22 per gallon.
