Just got back from delivering keys to Princess who locked herself out of her car.
Before I left, they were showing off the new Ford police car touting how big it was...

That's no way to treat a dog! I need my legs room!

Its new Fusion-based Police Responder delivers an estimated 38 mpg combined, making it more than twice as efficient as its Taurus-based Interceptor Sedan and Explorer-based Interceptor SUV.
According to Ford, each one of the midsize sedans would save $3,877 annually on fuel at $2.50 per gallon, and much more if gas prices go up.
Primarily aimed at urban departments, where patrol cars are driven at low speeds and spend a lot of time idling, the Police Responder is also the first pursuit-rated hybrid cop car ever offered.
With only about 188 hp, it won’t be the fastest, but after five seconds of hard driving it shifts into pursuit mode to ratchet up its responsiveness and can jump 8-inch curbs and railroad crossings, wade through an SUV-like 18 inches of water and handle Hollywood-style J-turns without falling apart. Besides, the bad guys' car will most likely run out of fuel before it does.
