Ford Fusion Hybrid

Not sure a hybrid is a good move, I learned the hard way.

My dad has a 14 ecoboost.. He loves it.. Not a hybrid, FREE POST!

So, I ended up getting a '15 ecoboost. What MPG's have some of you seen? I'm averaging like 23mpgs which is not any where near what was advertised. Is there a break in period where it will loosen up? My damned 2014 GT averaged 21mpgs. I bought this to save money, and it's not working.

Any thoughts on if an CAI and tune would help it out? I have a SCT tuner just laying around doing nothing, and the Steeda CAI is only like $250.

Mostly city with a little highway mixed in Lyn averages 29.
Are you just still testing the Turbo feature perhaps?

I driver mostly highway, about 18 miles one way to work with 17 of those miles on the highway. I usually set the cruise control to 70-75 depending on the road and just cruise. I hardly ever " get on it ". Just recently I have been actively trying to increase the MPG's without much luck.

If you're going to go hybrid, have you thought about full electric? Nissan leaf. Maybe get a used one. Even lower prices to fuel up. I'm sure its changed, maybe even gone lower, but the last calculation I saw was that it cost somewhere in the same area as $1.16 per gallon. Guess that all depends on your KWH price and all that.

My daily commute is to far for an all electric car. After test driving the hybrid I went with the eco boost. The Hybrid was just too sluggish, and the engine noise was annoying.

I would give it some time before investing in any modifications. I know the hybrids had some issues meeting their EPA numbers, but I dont know much about the ecoboost.

Are these numbers hand calculated or from the dash?

I'm getting right at 25mpg 2015 Fusion Ecoboost.
