I am looking to improve the fuel efficiency of my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. What are some effective tips or strategies to get better miles per gallon?
Your 2010 Fusion Hybrid is already a fuel-sipper, but there are still ways to squeeze out even more miles per gallon.
Focus on gentle driving, like smooth acceleration and braking. Keep your tires inflated to the right pressure and consider upgrading to low-rolling resistance tires.
Regular maintenance is key – make sure your hybrid battery is in top shape and the engine is running efficiently.
And hey, try to minimize short trips, as hybrids are more efficient on longer drives. With a bit of attention, you can watch those fuel costs drop!
Check to see if there are any software updates available. The first Fusion hybrids had a program clock that gave them trouble after 10 years. The specifics escape me, but that’s where I would begin. Most likely, you’ll need to go to the provider and have them connect their computer so they can check for updates and give you the newest version.
I’ve found that using eco mode and avoiding excessive idling can improve fuel economy
