Considering that the Chevy Malibu Hybrid gets only 2 mpg more than the standard Malibu, don't hold your breath for the Fusion.

And be wary of the ol' Saturn-style mpg comparison -- where they build a 4-cyl. hybrid and compare the mpg to the standard V6.

I give Ford a bit more credit than GM, since the Escape Hybrid has been in production for years now, and offers a real improvement in mpg. But, like GM, Ford is WAY late to the game on fuel efficiency.

Toyota and Honda were hybrid BEFORE it was cool.
