Save at the Pump with Ford

If you're ready to reduce your carbon footprint or find ways to save more money this year, fuel consumption is one of the best places to start.  Ford has engineered the models in its lineup to offer outstanding fuel-saving features. From hybrid powertrains to aerodynamic designs, Ford keeps the environment—and your wallet—in mind. 

Variable Valve Timing

Ford’s variable valve timing technology is used in many engine options to increase performance as well as fuel economy and efficiency. It works by altering the timing of the valves by shifting the phase angle of the camshaft. If that sounds like a bunch of jargon you don’t really care about, just know that VVT equals better efficiency. This technology is used throughout the Ford lineup on most models.

Turbo Powertrains

Much like variable valve timing can improve efficiency, so can turbochargers. The application of turbochargers may have started with the desire for faster vehicles, but it has an extra benefit. By using a turbocharger, Ford can use a smaller engine with less horsepower without creating a vehicle that feels sluggish. Small turbos provide the power you need to merge onto highways or pass another car but don’t drink fuel when you’re just driving normally. A great example is the Mustang equipped with a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine. With 310 horsepower, you might expect this car to be expensive at the pump but the premium sports car still achieves 30 mpg on the highway.*

Hybrid & Electric Performance

Ford has embraced the movement toward an electrified future. Offering models like the Escape and Explorer as hybrid models was just the beginning. Recently the automaker has also launched several fully-electric models like the Mustang MACH-E and F-150 Lightning. It doesn't get much more fuel-efficient than that!
