..Glad to hear its working out good for you. Ours (Fusion hybrid) has, too. :)
We've been on 5 trips so far with our Fusion Hybrid, and its been great as well. Like you said, very easy and simple to tow, and unbelievable mileage when driving it.
Yep, 49 mpg is definitely possible with Ford's newer hybrids, if you aren't too much of a 'lead foot'. I've seen several folks question Ford's mileage rating of 47, but it is quite possible to get that and more with these vehicles. I average about 48-49 going to work and back with it every day. The trick is, as you know, to keep it in EV mode as much as possible. Long, flat stretches like you mentioned would definitely help you do that.
I can't remember - Did you install a diode on your charge line going to the Cmax? I did not put in a diode, still not sure if I'm going to or not. Still not sure if its really necessary. I do have it fused on both sides (an absolute must, IMO), I'm probably going to leave it at that.
