What do sound and noise in a vehicle have to do with conversing fuel? Ford engineers were presented with a tricky problem when they were designing the 2013 Fusion Hybrid: in order to achieve maximum fuel efficiency, the engine had to be tuned in a way that produced undesirable powertrain noise for the passengers.
