Submitted by: Bay Ridge Ford

With oil prices on the rise, automakers are eager to provide drivers with fuel efficient vehicles to decrease stress on their pocket books while keeping the performance drivers desire. Automaker, Ford, has especially stepped up to the fuel economy challenge by offering 12 vehicles across its Ford and Lincoln lineup that lead their sales segments in fuel economy. Of the 12, four vehicles have also received an EPA certified rating of 40 miles per gallon or more.

Fuel economy along with technology are fast becoming consumers biggest priorities when purchasing new vehicles. Ford realizes the importance of both features and has transformed its lineup to feature more vehicles that allow customers to remain environmentally friendly while saving money by having to fill up less frequently at the gas station. The 12 fuel economy leaders in Ford s lineup range from pickup trucks to SUVs to cars. Ford s lineup has been revamped to feature improved aerodynamics, new fuel-saving technologies such as the PowerShift, six-speed automatic transmissions, EcoBoost engines and electric power assisted steering.

The newest Ford car to enter the circle of fuel efficient vehicles is the all-new Focus Super Fuel Economy (SFE). The car is the fourth car in Ford s lineup to receive an EPA-certified rating of 40 miles per gallon or more. The new Ford Focus achieves its impressive fuel economy through its 2.0-liter gasoline direct-injection DOHC four-cylinder engine mated with a dry-clutch six-speed Ford PowerShift automatic transmission. The Focus also employs full-active grille shutters that better optimize the vehicle s aerodynamics while also reducing CO2 emissions when fully closed.

The Ford Fiesta SE with the SFE package gets an impressive 40 miles per gallon on the highway. The affordable small car utilizes a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with the available six-speed dual-clutch PowerShift automatic transmission. The Ford Fusion Hybrid, touted as America s most fuel efficient mid-size family sedan, continues to achieve excellent fuel economy at an EPA-estimated 41 miles per gallon. The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is luxurious and equally remarkable also receiving 41 miles per gallon on the highway.

In addition to the four Ford models that receive 40 miles per gallon or more, the automaker offers many other vehicles that are fuel economy leaders in their sales segments. Vehicles such as the popular sports car, the Ford Mustang, which gets 31 miles per gallon and is the first car to get such high fuel economy in combination with 300-plus horsepower and the popular pickup truck, the Ford F-150, which offers a 3.7-liter V6 engine all-new for 2011 top their classes in fuel efficiency. Other Ford leaders include the Ford Super Duty, Ford Edge, Ford Escape Hybrid all top their classes in fuel efficiency.

As gas guzzlers become outdated, Ford is showing its consumers that they can continue to drive the type of car they desire, whether it s a truck, car or SUV while still achieving good fuel economy. Ford s lineup gives consumers what they crave, fuel efficient vehicles that don t lack in performance and allow them to save some green.
