I'm with you on the Fusion. Best vehicle they have by a mile.
That was just for one trip, just making sure you know that. That was tires aired up to 40 PSI(their usual), no A/C use at all, coasting in neutral, dwl, not exceeding 55 mph except for coasting, ect. Of course it does the stupid torque converter thing where you have to accelerate after shifting back into drive from neutral to get it to lock up so you can have engine braking/DFCO, which complicates things, but I made it work.
