The new guide is available for 2016 vehicles that can be towed.

We took delivery of our 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid on March 9. Love it, but still trying to figure out some of the electronics. They say to wait until the car has some miles on it before figuring the mpg, but since it shows right in the dash, it's not like I can't look at it, lol. Anyway with gas only, it is getting 40.5 mpg. With each trip, when you turn it off, the dash shows what the mpg on that trip was, including the gas and electric...that is averaging 51mpg in town. Haven't taken it on any highway trips yet.

Very nice! I wish my PT got even half that 51, but I keep reminding myself we paid cash so no payments and drive less than 6000 miles a year so buying a pricey hybrid would not be in our best interest, no matter how pretty and quiet they are.

Congratulations on the new ride!! Nice looking car and great gas mileage. The new cars have so many new safety features it amazes me. Plus I love all the technology, I try not to look at how many MPG I get though in my van

Very pretty. It looks like it has a lot of room. If I pay attention to how I'm driving I can get my CR-V close to 35 mpg. I could probably do better if I would clean out all the junk(cat food) I haul around. lol

They need to make cars for old people too. I can usually figure out some of the buttons but Harold has a problem even getting the air conditioner/heater/defroster set on his truck and it's not all that fancy. A friend had one of the Cadillac SUV's and the dash looked like it should be on a space ship. You could get out and think you had turned it off and it would still be running.

That getting out and not shutting car off has recently resulted in death and injury when a vehicle is left parked in a attached garage and pours carbon monoxide which then fills the house during the ensuing hours. Talked about it on tv the other night, a single woman and her son were asleep when her toddler began screaming with a headache, she got up, had a headache and decided to take him amd herself to a hospital. Opened door to garage and was hit by a wave of fumes. Opened outside door and was able to get help. Very lucky. Said she came home from work was chatting on phone and did not notice she had not pushed the special button to actually make the engine in the vehicle shut off. This is in cars not requiring a key start but requiring you push a button to stop engine. No April Fools joke!

Nice ride and I looks like Mr. Homer can get in and out with out climbed a mountain (like into the cab of the truck!)
