From 20 MPG to 40+ MPG

Hello everyone, new guy here.

I’ve upgraded from a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser which got about 20 mpg to a new 2014 Ford Fusion SE Hybrid that is already getting about 43 MPG.

It's my first new car and I'm also brand new to Fuelly. Looking forward to using Fuelly, but I haven’t had my first fill up yet! I'm still breaking it in at less than 500 miles.

Wondering what other nifty utilities and accessories are out there. I’ve already read my entire owners manuals, viewed related videos and am lurking in various forums. I’ve never considered myself a car guy, but with all the information I’m gathering, I think I’m starting to become one!

Welcome, you'll find plenty of useful tips here, there are a few Fusion hybrid owners who post on the forum too. I too increased my fuel economy by 100% from 35 MPG to 60/70 MPG by buying a diesel.
