The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Dodge to the dealership as the Ford Fusion. The Dodge pales in comparison to the Ford Fusion regarding fuel economy. There honestly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Ford Fusion is a tad more economical than the Dodge Avenger. With respect to MSRP, the Ford Fusion doesn't cost much less than the Dodge Avenger.

Utility
The Dodge Avenger and the Ford Fusion can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You'll very likely have to take the Avenger for a fill-up more often than the Ford Fusion because of its tank size and fuel economy.
