Ford Unveiling Car That Gets 70 mpg

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP)  Ford Motor Co. has built a test car, the Prodigy, with the space and convenience of a Taurus sedan that gets more than 70 mpg thanks to a long list of high-tech improvements. The car, which will be unveiled on Jan. 10, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, "goes a long way toward meeting our goal of an extremely fuel-efficient family vehicle," said Neil Ressler, Ford's vice president of research and vehicle technology, in an interview this week.
