I hit the 100,000 mile mark at 3:25 PM CST this afternoon.
Wonderful trouble free car.

That's rather normal for an engine of this size at idle. My 530i consumes about 0.25 GPH at idle.

29 to 32 is about average in the winter with snow tires 90% or better highway.
Summer 32 to 36 with summer tires and summer gas.
The factory gauge is not instantaneous, it is an average. It is fun to work with scan gauge and try to get the most out a tank of gas. Keeps me entertained with all the driving I do.
I have all my gas records for every fill up since the day I drove it off the lot.
I am trying to find the time this weekend to find my average MPG over the 100,000 miles.

Darn.
 
I went on a 400 mile trip yesterday with my Fusion and it runs great. We had 4 large adults crusing at 72 MPH and it showed 31.6 MPG when we got home. The engine runs smooth as silk and the transmission shifts great as well. Plenty of leg and head room, front and back. No problems yet.

Haha, my 3.0 uses .4 GPH at idle. Oh well, I guess I can only expect so much efficiency from an old pushrod V6.
 
A couple people PM'ed me about what oil I have been using.
Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 since around 5000 miles.
