Ford is putting its mileage where its mouth is with the new Ford Fusion, due out later this year. Even though official fuel economy numbers haven't been announced yet, Ford's already saying that gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid versions of the Fusion will top their respective classes.
Non-hybrid Fusions equipped with the most efficient engine option are expected to get 26 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway, according to Ford.
The Fusion Hybrid is expected to get 47 mpg in city driving and 44 mpg on the highway. The plug-in hybrid, meanwhile, is expected to beat the Chevrolet Volt in efficiency, Ford says.
Given that the current Fusion, which doesn't look nearly as nice as this one, is already one of the 10 best selling cars in America, taking the fuel economy lead should help Ford's overall ratings quite a bit.
