  1. I've been watching my MPG's going up too and since we rarely (once or twice a week maybe) go over 20-25 miles on the car our lifetime MPG is 212 or so with 720 miles on ~1/4 tank of gas so far. We still haven't filled it up once since buying the car early April. I have picture's I've been taking but don't know how to upload them into a post, but I can tell you I'm pleasently surprised. I am getting more mileage out of the battery and also better efficiency on the hybrid drive after depleting the EV only capacity than I expected. We live in a fairly hilly area (Coming from someone who lived in flat flat FLAT Delaware for most of his life) and I was expecting to get worse then the advertised numbers. We get ~ 25-27 miles per charge, which isn't amazing like the 43 (!!!) miles per charge someone on these forums got but I was originally worried that I'd get less then the advertised 21 on the sticker since we live 18 miles round trip from work. Overall I am very pleased with the car :-) Concerning the MPG vs. MPGe I show the MPG on my screen right now mostly because I want to see how high it will go during our normal usage. I bought the car not to minimize my emissions, but because I liked the idea of going loooong times without having to go to a gas station, and because I like the concept behind the technology. The cost savings to run the car versus an equivalent all ICE (sort of shown by the MPGe) is nice but I was mainly only interested in that while comparing the car to other cars in determining how long it'd take for the extra cost to pay for itself in efficiency. Perhaps once the OMG BIG MPG #'s!!1!!one!!! fades away I will switch it over to the more operating cost friendly MPGe. We will see.
  2. Hello all, fIrst time posting here. We ordered my Bordeaux Reserve Fusion Energi Titanium on 1/18/2013. I ordered it through my local sales person who had to order it through an affiliated dealership because our local one was not able to sell Plug-ins yet. Last Monday, my salesman told me it was already built and was in Arizona and had an estimated delivery date of April 24 2013, but did not have the VIN for me. I had asked him if he could get that information for me, but he never got back to me. Today I called him back and asked him once again and he told me he would call me back once he got a response from the other dealership. He just called me back and gave me the VIN and told me that they just sent him a picture of the VIN because the car was already physically on the lot! He's going to head up there and see what needs to be done with the car before we can take possession, but we should be getting our new Fusion this week! He said he was going to send me pictures once he gets there and puts his hands on it. He's as excited as I am lol he's not seen one yet. edit: Here is my Window Sticker: http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=3FA6P0SU5DR284887
