Despite our own actual experiences with the car, it turns out the EPA certified the Ford Fusion Hybrid on Tuesday at 41 miles per gallon in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, results that are actually better than the company was expecting. Those numbers put the Fusion Hybrid several mpg ahead of the (29/40 w/DSG transmission) Volkswagen Jetta TDI Clean Diesel, which also uses more expensive diesel fuel and has dirtier emissions. The numbers even tiptoe into Honda Civic Hybrid range.
AutoWeek reports that Ford made the announcement after finishing testing at its lab in Allen Park, Mich., this week; a Ford spokesman later confirmed that the near-identical Milan hybrid twin received the same rating from the EPA. The report said that the Fusion hybrid could theoretically travel up to 700 miles on a single tank of fuel and run in all-electric mode at speeds up to 47 mph.

this new car's simple elegant line is a very close replica of the European ford Mondeo, well recognized as a state of the art, family car.i think that the Fiusion is a bit over priced, after you dress it up in items that comes standard, and in very hight finish with
it's european Ford sister
.However it is only fair to mention that the Mondeo does not have the option of the fuel aconomy hybierd system.when i was compering cost i did it on gasolin models.
