Just after we got wind of the team’s success, Ford has went ahead and released a press statement detailing the end of the 1,000 mile Fusion Hybrid challenge.
The car has finally run out of gas, after a full 1,445 miles averaging a staggering 81mpg. The journey took 69 hours and managed to raise $8,000 dollars for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
While this is an amazing feat, the team had a world record holding hyper miler on board which means you probably wouldn’t be able to get these same numbers out of the car.
Want to give it a try anyways? Check out how they did it in the press release after the break. (more…)
