Ford Fusion hybrid hypermiles, goes 1,445 miles on a single tank

Ford finally beat my 1990 Honda CRX :)

Ford Fusion hybrid hypermiles, goes 1,445 miles on a single tank:

" On the 1,445.7-mile trip, the Ford Fusion hybrid was pushed to an average of 81.5 mpg."

For the record, the CRX routinely topped 50 mpg on the interstates around Dayton. Descending out of the San Juans it could top 60 mpg. Two seats. No air conditioning.
