2010 Fusion most fuel efficient 4-pot in U.S…
January 10, 2009The 2010 model year Ford Fusion is one of the best drives in America at the moment – at least in the 4 cylinder, front wheel drive category. And, as revealed just last night by the American EPA, it is also the most fuel efficient car in its class, with an impressive 28mpg (city) / 34mpg (hwy)!
That betters some of the fierce competition such as Nissan’s Altima’s 23mpg in town and the Chevy Malibu’s 33mpg on the highway…

Sure, the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid may have a base price that’s more expensive than a Toyota Camry Hybrid ($27,270 vs. $26,150), but you get oh so much more. Aside from more interesting styling and a trick LCD display
called SmartGauge, Ford Fusion Hybrid owners will be able to travel 41
miles in the city for every gallon of gas they use.

2010 Ford Fusion pricing announced…
November 24, 2008With thanks to Autoblog:
The dust has hardly settled from Ford’s big showing at the 2008 LA Auto Show, and already it’s making news again with the new 2010 Fusion. Today Ford launched a minisite to promote the redesigned mid-size sedan, and contained therein is pricing for all five models. Everything begins with the base Fusion S model that starts at $19,270 and comes with the new 2.5L four-cylinder and a six-speed manual. The range tops out at the Fusion Hybrid, which starts at $27,270. That’s a little more than the Toyota Camry Hybrid, which begins at $26,150, but as AutoblogGreen points out, the Fusion Hybrid comes with Ford’s new EcoAssist gauge cluster that may be worth the extra money to buyers. We’ve also learned that the Fusion Hybrid’s fuel economy in the city will be 39 mpg, which is 6 mpg better than the Camry Hybrid, so you will be getting more for your money.
