Dennis I can certainly see your view but I'd like to eliminate myself from having to stop at the gas pump as much as possible. Just really pushes my buttons when gas prices fluxuate so much and I have very little controll. Surely filling my F-150 (SuperCrew - 4x4) each week contributes in part of my frustration. But yes, everytime I look at the 2013 Fusion it is clear what an appealing car they have produced.
