Take off 19's still go for $1,800+, but they look good. Here's a pic of my moms on factory 19's with Eibach's and mine with the H&R's on 17's
Both of these cars look very nice! Love these new Fusions... Ford hit a home run here.
New DD... Never thought I'd own a PHEV

I averaged just over 72 mpg and got 1,047 miles on the tank of gas that was in it when the dealer delivered it. I'm excited to see how it does now that it's warming up!
holy SHIT ! That is crazy.
nice looking ride too !
It feels like it makes good power, not like the EcoBoost when tuned, but not bad for a DD. It feels totally different too, since it has a CVT trans. The EcoBoost when tuned would fry the tires and chirp them on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift.
I may take it to the track just for kicks and see what it runs.
If I can keep this mpg going, this will be a good tank.
I only live 3 miles away from work so I bet I could go pretty far on 1 tank! At the leaders 5800 miles, how long do you think the fuel was in the tank? Does ford recommend using stabil or anything like that in the tank sense it is gonna be in there for so damn long?
I'm not sure how long the fuel was in his tank. It would be 4 or 5 months for me with that mileage. Never heard recommendations for Stabil in the tank.
Best tank yet... Took 12.1 gallons to fill it

That is insane! I am assuming you are charging on a nightly basis?
I charge only once per day, overnight. It's setup through the car to value charge on off peak hours.
I believe the ECU automatically runs the engine for a short period of time to burn some fuel if you are always running in EV mode. I put some Stabil in it though just to be safe.
Have you noticed a significant difference in the power bill?

I've been on the budget wise billing plan through DTE for years. My bill is $71/month. They look at usage each month and it's up a bit from before but less than 10% so my bill stays the same.

Forget the car, I want a 77 dollar a month electric bill.
Also, is the kwh meter showing your usage for the entire trip, as the electric company would put on your bill (of u weren't on level load)? Seems crazy you can travel 1700 plus miles on 12.1 gallons and, at my local rate, about 25 dollars in electric.

The kWh meter must only display 3 digits. I don't watch it closely, but I know that on a typical 13 mile drive to work I use about 2.8 kWh, so there's no way I only used 273 in 1,736 miles.

Wow, so it is a win win for you. Same electric bill and better fuel mileage, sounds awesome!
Well, using your previous numbers it isn't that far off really.
Let's say the car gets 35 mpg on gas, that's 423 miles. 1736-428 is 1308. Divide 1308 by your 13 mile drive you get 100.61. Multiply by 2.8 you get 281 kwh.
I know my math has some assumptions but any way you cut it its like 30 dollars for 1300 miles.... Incredible. I really didn't think that much saving was there.
Ahh, that makes sense...
I would have never though charging as little as I do would show such good results.
Looking at other peoples fill-up's, the best I see for a tank now is 8,085 miles. They must charge everywhere they go!
probably have a charging station at work and at home, would pay for itself in the long run.
#mycarismoreenergyefficientthanmyfridge :rolling:
I found that plugging this fridge in makes my electric bill increase $20/month... So now I only plug it in prior to gatherings.
