That’s great to know! I just picked up a super clean loaded (all options) 2013 MKZ Hybrid with 48k miles for a steal and I couldn’t be happier! I’m hoping it will last me a good 50k miles.
I’ve only driven about 200 miles on it, but so far, I get about 41-42mpg on longer, highway trips (no A/C) and closer to 36-38mpg if I do lots of stop and go.
I really do wonder sometimes how did Ford get EPA to rate this car at 45/45. It seems very unrealistic in real world usage. Granted, it’s winter now, but in Virginia it’s been somewhat mild.
