#62 of 154 Re: Another Update [wiredpair] by wiredpair Jul 26, 2007 (4:08 am)
Replying to: wiredpair (May 08, 2007 3:54 am) Ok, I crossed the 10,000 mile mark yesterday (4 months and 1 day after purchase) and filled up at 10,076.7 miles. The computer shows 29.2 MPG and my Excel calculations show 28.2 - so the computer may be a little optimistic or I am bad at math.   I have an SEL V6 Fusion (no AWD) and keep the cruise at 60 MPH on the highway when possible. My driving is approximately 80%-85% highway and 15%-20% City.   I am happy with the fuel economy thus far.   Eric Replies to this message: akirby (Jul 26, 2007 5:22 am) wiredpair (Nov 19, 2007 3:04 pm) wiredpair (Feb 26, 2008 11:54 am) wiredpair (Feb 27, 2009 10:02 am)

Replying to: wiredpair (Jul 26, 2007 4:08 am) There is room for variation in the manual method. Most folks find the computer accurate within 0.5 mpg so that's not too far off.
#64 of 154 Good HWY mileage by slowride022 Aug 03, 2007 (1:05 am)
I have an 07 fusion with V6 auto. I have owned it for 6 months and have 10000 miles on it. I make a 1600 mile round trip from Kansas City to Cleveland every other month. I watch the trip puter very closely and manually check my MPG every trip. I have found that my fusion gets any where from 25 to 30 MPG on interstate driving, depending on my speed. To get 30 MPG i have to put the cruise on 60 mph and leave it there. If i drive 85 mph the mileage drops to about 25 MPG. i generally drive about 75 mph and get about 27 MPG. I get around 450 miles out of a tank of gas on these trips. I have also found driving in the suburbs in stop and go traffic gets me around 15 to 18 MPG. I would also like to add that the my fusion handles and rides very well and is very comfortable on long trips. I have not had one problem with this car and am very pleased with it. The only negative thing i can say is if you are over 6'2", do not get the moonroof for head room is very limited.
#65 of 154 Mileage update by scape2 Aug 03, 2007 (6:41 am)
I now have about 17,500 miles on my 06 SEL V6 Fusion. Average MPG per the computer is now 24.7. My commute is about 60% freeway.

Replying to: wiredpair (Jul 26, 2007 4:08 am) My last fill-up was at 17,721.8 miles and I was able to squeeze out 30.04 MPG on my commute (150 R/T per day nearly 85% highway driving) at 60 MPH with cruise on. This would include no jackrabbit stops and driving like I have an egg under the gas pedal.   Overall, the computer shows 29.1 overall (never having been reset) and my manual calculations are 28.4 at the moment. The computer was as high as 29.5 when summer traffic was lighter.   Eric
#67 of 154 MPG WOES by justme13 Dec 19, 2007 (7:38 pm)
I have a 2007 Fusion s I-4 engine (manual) it has 6k in miles. Average 60% city 40% highway. Average is 22 mpg. engine has a slight knock when first started then goes away after engine warms up. Dealer says every thing is fine; give it untill 8k or 9k for the computer to adjust. Any one else out there have similar experience? Replies to this message: urnews (Dec 20, 2007 7:11 am)

Replying to: justme13 (Dec 19, 2007 7:38 pm) engine has a slight knock when first started then goes away after engine warms up. Dealer says every thing is fine; give it untill 8k or 9k for the computer to adjust.   An engine knock doesn't sound normal to me. I think I would get a second opinion from another dealer.
#69 of 154 good gas mileage by cjones6 Dec 20, 2007 (2:55 pm)
had 2006 fusion 2.3, 5-speed, got about 24mpg city, and once on the way to canada i got around 40mpg, but that was the only time i got anywhere near that. i noticed on the highway doing about 70mph im doing about 3k rpm, a 6 gear or a bigger 5th gear would be nice   + the computer show you average, not current mpg.   - had some engine knock when i would lug the engine, but that was it, i guess it is normal on the fusion, could just be spark knock or the VVT working

Replying to: bali_i4_manual (Dec 22, 2007 12:35 pm) A cause for celebration.
