7. I've owned a Fusion Hybrid for 18 months.
Love it!

Your mileage is affected by the weather. My mileage in freezing weather is about 36 mpg. In the summer (even during heavy use of AC), I get about 39 mpg.

11. What's your mileage?
The EPA numbers (on all cars) are generally worthless.

13. In Southern California we don't have freezing weather.
So that won't be a problem for me. But the nav system and everything else on the Fusion totally blew me away.

4. I love auto shows! The Texas State Fair was a boring and unmitigated disaster this year.
Thankfully we have the Texas Auto Show in the spring.
