Ford is making a move to become the leader in fuel efficient cars, announcing that it will be producing four vehicles for 2011 that will get 40 miles per gallon. Ford will be the only automaker producing four vehicles with an MPG rating of 40 miles or more.

"We are bringing customers the most fuel-efficient product portfolio in Ford's 107-year history, and customers are taking notice," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development.
Ford currently has three models already reaching 40 mpg. The Fiesta SE, Fusion Hybrid and the new 2012 Focus all achieve 40 mpg or better.

Even the Ford models that don't get 40 mpg are still rating above average due to Ford's efforts to make all their cars and trucks more efficient.

Ford Mustang V-6: Its high-revving 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V-6 engine and six-speed automatic deliver best-in-class highway fuel economy of 31 mpg. Mustang V-6 is the first car in history to deliver the combination of 300-plus horsepower and more than 30 mpg.

Ford Edge: With its 3.5-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic, Edge delivers 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, a rating no other midsize crossover can top. The upcoming 2-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine in the 2012 Edge is expected to deliver even greater economy.

Ford F-150: Its 302-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 engine and six-speed automatic deliver a best-in-class 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway - an EPA rating hybrid versions of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra can't top. The 3.7-liter V-6 is one of four all-new truck engines coming to the 2011 F-150 lineup.

Ford Super Duty: The new Ford-designed and Ford-built 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine delivers as much as 20% better fuel economy than the 6.4-liter it replaced and hasn't been topped for fuel economy in even third-party and media test drives.
