    Hypermilers Squeeze Ford Fusion Hybrid From the page: By now, you may have heard reports about a Ford Fusion Hybrid achieving fantastic gas mileage, much higher than the EPA certified 41 mpg city, 36 mpg highway. Amazingly, a team of hypermilers squeezed the Fusion to deliver an astounding 81.5 mpg, a figure that should warm the hearts of high mileage freaks the world over. Nice Publicity For Ford That feat is a publicity coup for the Ford Motor Company who has been diligently working to raise the sedan's visibility just as it released its second generation model. And, for the first time, the Fusion (and its sibling, the Mercury Milan) are now offering hybrid versions. The team of drivers who set out to see how far the Fusion Hybrid could go on a full tank of gas included mileage maximize experts. These are the kind of drivers who can also drive everyone else nuts, coasting down hills and slowing moving away from an intersection from a dead stop. Maine To Florida On One Tank Of Gas? By also keeping windows rolled up and avoiding potholes and bumps which can take away from momentum, the team of hypermilers showed that the Ford Fusion Hybrid's range of 700 miles can easily be achieved. In this case they drove 1445 miles on a tank of gas as they circled the Washington, DC area, a trip that could take someone from Maine to Florida. The Fusion Hybrid 1,000-Mile Challenge as the event was dubbed also managed to raise more than $8000 in pledges for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Among the seven drivers who participated in the 69 hour non-stop event was Carl Edwards who was fresh off of destroying his NASCAR Fusion at Talladega the day before. Edwards survived a wreck that saw his race car slam into the fence, spiral through the air and flip over several times. It appears some Democrats don't read the news. On the other hand, imagine Pelosi demanding wind powered cars, and Obama telling engineers at Ford they're going in the wrong direction? Tip my hat to mattkeegan .
