Escape Hybrid

[northwoods60]

its got a 4 banger...dont expect high performance. I dont see many on the roads here in Ontario, Canada. I love the concept. But electric is more for big city driving, not rural. My dealer who is in the country, half way between Sarnia Ontario & London, ontario, does not recommend in small cities. The pay back is too long. Electrics are more for big city.

I was also wondering- interesting no responses
seems you drive like I do
both my 08 & 09 V6 4wd are in line with yours
at 60 I can still get 31.9
84,400 miles & 51,320

27mpg with gas?
I average, city driving, here in Ontario, Canada, 30mpg.
I would love a hybrid, but payback using a battery is questionable??
educate me.
I do not like plug in's. Prius had an excellent idea years back, using static from braking to generate electricity (same scenerio using hydro, its generated the same way).
