Are you seeking a midsize sedan for your next daily driver? Well, if so, we here at Central Ford would be quick to couple you up with ours, the 2017 Fusion.

Did you know that there are a few things you can do to get better gas mileage? They're pretty effortless habits to have, too. When you at driving on the highway-use your cruise control. Also avoid hauling things on the roof of your car. Hauling cargo on the roof can cause wind resistance and that will lower your fuel economy. A rear-mount cargo box, on the other hand, will have a much less reduction on your fuel economy. Another way people reduce their fuel economy is by carrying a bunch of extra weight in their vehicles. So, if there…
