Ford's New Eco-Route Feature

Ford has instituted yet another fuel-saving measure for some of its vehicles:

The new technology, dubbed “Eco-Route,” works with the MyFord Touch navigation system to calculate the most fuel-efficient route to a destination.

The system works by accessing historical and real-time data, as well as posted speed information, to calculate three navigation options – fastest, shortest and Eco-Route.
