I leased a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi in September 2015. I've only had to fill it up 6 times in the last year. With charge stations near my home and work, I've attained an eMPG of 173.12. I rarely have to use the charge at my home. My gas/electric cost to drive the car is probably less than a penny per mile.

Ford has come a long way in the comfort, stability, and safety of their vehicles. I was hit broadside on the passenger side of the car and walked away with no bumps or bruises. The car was hit by an SUV doing 80 mph but held together so well, it was repaired and looks like new. The car is comfortable and has technology that surprises me constantly. I recently found on my navigation pane a small white box that shows me the speed limit of the street I'm driving on. It's the little things that go a long way. They have an app for your cell phone to set charge times as well as track your performance and more. I like to see what my contribution to ecology is having saved 165 gallons in gas and over 16,000 pounds in carbon dioxide pollution for the 1 year I've been driving.

The lease on the Ford finished recently and I went with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV due to the extra cargo room and the 2 types of charger plug ins.
