Turns out I didn’t really have time to empty the tank in the Fusion Hybrid this week. It would have just taken far too long, since it seems to go forever on one tank. I did travel about 400km, most of it highway travel, and would up just below 3/4 of a tank on the gauge.
I averaged a very respectable 6.3L/100km, and considering much of my highway driving was in the greater-than-100km/h range, that is impressive. Watching the Hybrid drive display on the large navigation screen shows that the electric motor is assisting even during high-speed highway motoring.
I kept coming back to the Fusion Hybrid’s quiet road manners as its key highlight and, of course, its fuel economy. This is one car that I would love to have in my stable; the only downside is the lack of 60/40 split folding rear seats, which can be a challenge for those hardware store trips.
