Ford Fusion-Best Gas Mileage
Ford announced yesterday that their 2010 Ford Fusion will get the best gas mileage in the mid-size car in the U.S. market. Ford says that the Environmental Protection Agency certified that the Fusion is equipped with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission and will get 34 miles per gallon on the highway and 23 mpg in the city. This new Fusion will be in showrooms in March. Ford is hoping that the Fusion can compete and take a share of the top-selling car in the U.S. - the Toyota Camry. The Camry gets 31 miles per gallon on the highway and 21 mpg in the city.
There is a hybrid Fusion coming this year as well. It will get 41 mpg in the city and 36 on the highway, which according to Ford is the “most efficient hybrid in its class.” The Honda Accord, the second leading seller in its class, gets 31 mpg on the highway and 22 in the city. Hopefully the Ford Fusion can take a share of the market back and help Ford to get out of the red!
