Replying to: ken74 (Feb 20, 2007 7:33 pm) "What PCM/TCM update?"   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: scape2 (Feb 25, 2007 5:21 pm) I'm not sure if my car needs the PCM or not but I'm going to ask about it when I take it in for an oil change and such. So far I have 1600 miles on the car 12oo of which is freeway driving the rest city. In city I get about 13 or so and so far my best which was on my 1200 mile road trip was 22.3 however keep in mind I have the AWD model and I'll admit I have a lead foot and tend to speed (did 90 most of the trip) Replies to this message: scape2 (Mar 02, 2007 11:49 pm)

#39 of 154 26.2 overall at 512 miles by wiredpair Mar 02, 2007 (4:41 pm)
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.

Replying to: otaku18 (Feb 25, 2007 7:10 pm) I am sure Ford has programed the updated PCM software into all 07 and probably late year 06's. My average MPG is 23.6 for my SEL V6 at about 11,700 miles. This isn't a "problem" per say. More of an upgrade/improvement.
#41 of 154 Horrific in-city mileage by urnews Mar 03, 2007 (11:11 am)
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: urnews (Mar 03, 2007 11:11 am) What did you drive before and what kind of mpg did you get for the same type of driving?

Replying to: jeffyscott (Mar 04, 2007 4:48 am) Our 85,000-mile, 1997 3.8-liter V6 Thunderbird with four-speed automatic transmission delivers the same mileage, 13 mpg, over the same daily route and it's 10 years older and weighs 500 more pounds. The 13 mpg on the 2007 AWD SEL 3.0-liter V6 Fusion is extremely disappointing.   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.

Replying to: urnews (Mar 04, 2007 9:48 am) That T-bird is rated 18/26. AWD Fusion is rated 19/26. So I don't see why you expect mpg to be much different between the two?   You just must have a commute that results in poor mileage. I was getting 19 mpg in with that Ford 3.8L in a '97 Windstar. But now my kid is driving it to school...shorter trips...and getting about 10 mpg.   When CR did their much tougher mpg test of the Fusion V6, they got 14 mpg city and that was w/o AWD. You drive must be more like their test than EPA's
