It's wonderful to create a new Ford model that achieves excellent fuel economy.

An SUV that can boast fuel efficiency may seem hard to find. However, the four-wheel drive 2011 Mercury Mariner Hybrid, ranks sixth on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) list of Fuel Economy Leaders for 2011.
 
The SUV boasts 34 mpg/city and 31 mpg/hwy, beating five other vehicles (three of which are smaller hybrids). An excellent ranking that certainly breaks the mold of the typical gas-guzzling, hyper-polluting SUV generally portrayed by the…

Your old pair of blue jeans could help towards making the new Ford Focus. Ford, the American carmaker that has been recognized for many green car awards, announced it has used recycled pants, shirts and other clothing to cover some parts of the new Ford Focus interior. Certain areas of the car, like the carpet backing and sound-absorption materials, are made from cottons that have been processed and recycled.
