I picked up my FFH this morning. It was in dealer stock, and is silver with the 502A package. I got about $500 off MSRP and did not pay a dealer's fee.

When you turn off the vehicle, the dash displays a trip summary. I got 46.2 mpg over the 12 mile trip to work from the dealership. I wasn't running the A/C.

I will have to work hard to pay attention to traffic, as I am easily distracted by all the colorful displays.

I am looking forward to my drive home from work and learning more about the Fusion.

Congratulations on your purchase, Ormond! I look forward to hearing about your experiences and seeing your fuel economy data in our database.

Thanks Jason! I will keep track of my mileage. I use an Excel spreadsheet, and will have to keep a logbook in the car.

I don't think I added the Fusion as an option to the database yet, actually. If you find you're ready to add it and I haven't gotten around to it yet, send me a PM and I'll do it ASAP

Jason,

First you will have to add the Fusion to the list of hybrid models in "add a car".

The Fusion option is now available in the database.

Jason,

In another thread the Mercury Milan (a Fusion clone) was mentioned.

Ormond, congrats- I checked and mine is being built this week, but no ETA yet.

Keep us informed of your discoveries and experiences.

Red,
I am enjoying the car, and I do like it better than my previous Camry Hybrid that I owned in 2007. I am still on my first tank of gas, so I haven't verified my mileage. The trip computer has me at 40.4 mpg.

I have the navigation, and I am enjoying the Sirius Travel Link and Microsoft Sync features.

I will keep you posted. Let us know when your car arrives.
