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

Replying to: urnews (Mar 04, 2007 9:48 am) Boz man, Please don't fill up this board too. Everyone who drives a Fusion knows you are having gas milage problems.   Replies to this message: urnews (May 13, 2007 10:43 am)
#46 of 154 Update by scape2 Apr 02, 2007 (9:40 am)
Well, I wanted to wait a while before posting this. My Fusion has ticked up .2 miles to an average of 23.8MPG. This is per the computer in the car. This is combined city/highway driving. I would say about 65-70 percent of my commute is freeway. I now have about 12,900 miles on my Fusion with no problems to report. Wind noise however seems to have increased a tad in the drivers side door. No rattles or squeaks on the interior. Cheers!..

Replying to: urnews (Mar 04, 2007 9:48 am) Yeah,you must have an awful commute. My 1995 T-Bird with the 4.6 V-8 gets an easy 18 MPG and I don't think i've ever gotten less than 17 MPG even with all city driving.
#48 of 154 Re: 26.2 overall at 512 miles [wiredpair] by wiredpair Apr 05, 2007 (4:54 pm)
Replying to: wiredpair (Mar 02, 2007 4:41 pm) Just an update. I've owned the car 41 days and just under 3,000 miles. I commute 150 miles round trip per day of which I'd estimate 80% to 85% is highway driving with the cruise control set at 60 MPH. The car does not get used for any other purpose. Yes, I try to drive like I have an egg under my foot.   I have a SEL V6 (no AWD) and my computer shows 27.4 MPG while my hand calcs are at 27.1 MPG - a slight variance.   Each tank has gotten a little better as the engine breaks in, two of the past three tanks have gotten slightly more than 28 MPG (I believe it was 28.13 and 28.17).   The engine is turning around 1800 RPM at 60 MPH - I did notice an increase of about 1.5 MPG lowering my speed from 65 to 60 MPH.   Eric Replies to this message: wiredpair (May 08, 2007 3:54 am) wiredpair (Jul 26, 2007 4:08 am) akirby (Jul 26, 2007 5:22 am) wiredpair (Nov 19, 2007 3:04 pm) wiredpair (Feb 26, 2008 11:54 am) and 1 more...
#49 of 154 Overall Mileage Fusion SE V6 by kmaurer Apr 14, 2007 (7:19 am)
I have had my Fusion for five weeks now (1,200 miles). My average MPG has been 20.8. I manually calculated this number - the car shows 21.0. My driving is 100% city (12 miles one way). After my first tank of gas, I've been very careful to accelerate and brake slowly (my frist tank of gas was 15.8). Overall, it's about what I expected.
