  1. Here’s my numbers from yesterday. It looks like I’m closer to 60 than 70mpg. Still a heck of a lot better than I was getting in the V6 accord.
  2. I guess that makes sense. The Regen brought it up to about 37 miles leaving 43 for gas. If I knew that I would have bought this car as soon as I started commuting a year ago. Ford needs to do a better job advertising this.
  3. I bought a '17 SE over the weekend and did my first commute to work today. It's 160 miles round trip and according to the trip odometer I averaged 70mpg with a full charge start and full charge at work. Can this be right?! The tank was near full and now it's a bit above 3/4 so that's less than 3 gallons of gas. I was expecting 45mpg or so. This can't be right can it?
  4. Hello all. I just purchased a 2017 SE Luxury. I was looking at the standard hybrid and the salesman showed me this one. Like most the trunk space was/is one concern but from what I read here before purchasing it doesn't seem to be too much of an issue. A little bit about my car history. For 20 years I commuted by bus so I only drove 2 miles to the bus stop and parked the car. A couple of years ago I bought a 2013 Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca. Awesome car, great sound, terrible on gas and not great for long drives but a blast to drive. A year after buying that car I left my job and started commuting 80 miles each way. Not the commute you want to do in a mustang in traffic with a manual trans. For the last year I've used the mustang some days but mostly used my son's cars while they were away at college. One son is graduating and another is coming home so I needed a car. The fusion kept popping up on the top of the hybrid list. I looked at the Honda but it was much more $ and Honda does not have a great track record with their hybrid. I didn't consider the Hyundai Ioniq because it's too new. I'm not a toyota fan and obviously a ford fan so here I am. I'm looking to learn a bunch here about this car. From the brief bit I've read it seems like using Level 1 charging is better for the battery life and that works for my situation (overnight and at the office). I'd like to see what setup you guys are using at home and work. My office will be relocating from a leased building to a building we own so I'm going to request a charging station and need to research which will be best. I'm looking forward to all the bells and whistles in this car. The adaptive cruise control was interesting on the way home from the dealer and my wife is really jealous about the heated steering wheel and remote start. JT
