33 highway seems impossible. How'd they get a large brick to return that fuel economy? How did Road and Track get 43 MPG? That's what a Fusion hybrid gets. I realize diesel is good for about 20% more energy per gallon, but still.

I drove straight and steady at 55 MPH once in my truck and got something like 22 MPG. Granted my truck needs major front end work, the transmission is letting go, and I've got large off road rated tires, and the headache rack sticks above the cab.
