Boise-area drivers are in a unique situation. Your daily commute is a short sprint through city traffic. Even if you are coming from the suburbs of Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, or Eagle, your typical round-trip may be under 20 miles. Yet, head outside of our little urban oasis, and you find yourself on long country roads through farmland and mountains.

Boise drivers need fuel-efficient city cars to make the most of daily travel, but also require a car that can handle long hauls down the highway.

Meet the 2017 Fusion Energi.

This plug-in hybrid has an ultra-long range -- up to 610 miles on a full tank and charged battery. You could make it almost all the way to Vegas without stopping, making it ideal for those times you're out in the mountains with no gas station in sight.

It also has a 21-mile EPA-estimated electric range, so you can drive to work, pick up the kids, and fetch the groceries all without ever using gasoline. How long could you go without fueling up? A month? Six months?

Visit Lithia Ford Lincoln of Boise to take a test drive, and see if a plug-in hybrid could be right for you. Test out more than one, and compare a hybrid with other new Ford vehicles for sale.
