2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid to get up to 48 mpg city?

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/14/2...8-mpg-highway/

A report from Ford Inside News suggests that the Fusion Hybrid's revised powertrain, which will most likely feature Ford's fuel-saving e-CVT trans, will bump the vehicle's fuel economy rating all the way up to 47 or 48 miles per gallon city. If true, that would be a healthy increase over the 2011 Fusion Hybrid's 41 mpg city rating, which is already class leading. Since the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid will make use of the same hardware, this means that the gas-electric MKZ is almost sure to have an identical mpg rating.

Where's your usual 'negative-realist' remark?

I will admit the projected MPG seems a little too optimistic, but if true will be fantastic!

Sorry man, I still got nothing.

I can't wait to see and test drive a new Fusion. Being Mondeo based I'm sure it will be fun to drive (unlike my Fusion).
