It’s Electric: Plug-in Ford Fusion Debuted at Detroit Auto Show

The Ford Fusion has been a popular midsize sedan since it first hit the market in 2005, and with the recent announcement of its upcoming models that's not likely to change anytime soon. Ford revealed that the next Fusion will come in a plug-in, hybrid or turbo option, USA Today reports.

The unveiling came at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, which kicked off earlier this week and happened as Ford continues to make a big push toward fuel efficiency, and many analysts are surprised that the company is going to offer a plug-in model because so few major manufacturers have done so.

"We brought our global teams together around a blank slate with the charge to develop a midsize car with ground-breaking design and jaw-dropping fuel economy," Derrick Kuzak, group vice president of global product development, said in the announcement, the publication reports.

Although the new versions are part of the 2013 model, that does not mean that drivers can't get excellent fuel efficiency out of their used Ford Fusion as well. For instance, the 2010 Fusion got a respectable 34 mpg on the highway.

Of course, there are a number of things you can do while out on the road to help improve your gas mileage even more. For instance, driving at or around the speed limit has shown to have a positive impact, as has opting for cruise control on the highway.
