Hey it seems as if you are going by the computers mpg in " most " of your videos. Shouldn't you hand calculating all your mpg info?

[mpgomatic]

Indeed. We calculate combined mileage based on actual (and most often multiple) tank fills.

my friend has one of these with only 1500 miles on it. Its a pretty nice car but i dont get how its an Economy car. I look at his dash all the time and the best ive seen it is 22mpg. My camaro gets 25, the 90 bmw gets 30ish and the morris gets 35-40.

This car doesnt get good gas mileage at all.

[mpgomatic]

It's all in the way and where it's driven. Drive the Fusion with a heavy foot and it will gulp down the gas. You might have a lighter foot then your friend ... :)

[sidescrollin]

My friend does tend to drive it a little ridiculously because he thinks its a sports car. But Theres been times where we are cruising on flat ground in a straight line at 65 and its at 22. usually its 18 though. Im willing to bet I could drive it and get better gas mileage since Ive driven alot of cars and the fusion is his first and only one, but im not too impressed.

I was really suprised when i saw 31 in the video. And i was also suprised about the lighted cupholders. really cool actually.

[mpgomatic]

The trick with the Fusion - like many cars with good automatic transmissions - is to drive with inertia and barely touch the throttle once you've hit your target speed.

I'm looking forward to putting the new Fusion Hybrid to a week-long test ... I've only driven it briefly. That one can really roll up the MPGs.

[gunzkevin]

the new 2010 fusion is alot better, it has more hp on each engine and comes with a 3.5l option. And a hybrid option. All the fuel economy numbers increased too. They look very nice.

31 on the highway is impressive...

@josh666675 i own the car, and i have had it for a year. Best car for all around use, my mpg is 20's low and 24-25 high but then again. I do speed sometimes lol

[Motorfordtoyota]

Now do a Camry v6. It does 0-60 in about 5.9 Seconds!

@Mrjmoyer78 Remember the Nissan has a CVT now, so that isn't quite as sporty.

[kyle51895]

I want one! I love the interior :D

[stubobbyo]

Im 18 sooo yeah... it reads between 19-21 mpg haha. Fast though- neck in neck with my friends g35 coupe and bmw 325i.

[Mrjmoyer78]

@eighthof8

I just drove a 2010 accord and while it was nice...it's too big now...doesn't feel as sporty as my 2005 accord does....It was a nice car...I'm going to take a look at the Fusion and probably Altima for that "sporty" family hauler experience...they both have better proportions...and a Camry is just blah

[josh666675]

i might buy the v6 awd one in lke 2 years? should i get

[Josemiragels]

this car is the best car ive have own this one has more options than mine i have a 06 fusion sel v6 and i think it has horse power to be a family car sometimes i forget i am driving a family car and i slam on it lol but over i love it great look and its reliable

[crazyasitgets]

i have this car,

Mine is a 2009 SEL V6, and I have to say, I've gotten 33 MPG when going about 65. I've gotten 29 MPG while going 75 on the interstate, it really depends on how you drive the car. I tend to have a heavy foot in most cases, lol
