We’re excited by all developments in hybrid/electric/alternative fuel vehicles. What’s good for the planet is good for all of us. Hopefully the time will soon come when these cars are a viable, economic alternative. We got one step closer this week as the Ford Fusion was driven 1,445 miles on a single tank! We were pleased to read that this was the standard model with no special alterations for the test. We hate it when they get some suped-up version for these tests that’s nothing like the one a consumer can actually buy.
