How Many Leaves have YOU seen?
How many leaves have you seen on your FFH display?
These photos were taken during my first test drive in my Mother's car.
However, being a FEH owner, I kind of knew how to "hybrid drive".
Being my first time behind the wheel, I still net 79.4 MPG on a 2 hour, ~52 mile drive. Could probably sustain 90 MPG with practice.
Speed limits were 35-45 MPH, and I generally went 5 under the speed limit in most places, and made 4 brief stops. I like this car!!!

No Really now, are the leaves in the photo maxed out, or will they keep growing if MPG stays just over the EPA rating?
My 70 y.o. dad just drove 40 miles and got 51 MPG and his leaf pattern looked the same as below.

Re: How Many Leaves have YOU seen?
Is there not someone else who pays attention to the spify graphics?
Have you seen more leaves? Same amount? Not so many?
I'm just curious!

It was around the rim of the Grand Canyon.
Speed limits of 35 to 45 MPH and rolling hills.
I drove west to east, then turned around and made a complete round trip, so there was no net elevation change or consistent tail winds.
Several photo stops along the way.

Hey buddy.... I drive mostly out in the country where I see another car, maybe every 10 minutes! And it's usually a farm implement slowing ME down, making ME lose momentum and costing ME MPG!

I've had my 2011 Fusion Hybrid about three weeks, and frequently need a power blower to clean all the leaves off the screen.
Blower can be found in the display options menu!
Great car so far! Almost as many features as my traded-in '08 Cadillac CTS.
