I always wonder why Ford didn't put a "short range" button on these. You press the button and then you can drive it away without the engine even starting.

Of course, the engine would still start if the battery got below a certain state of charge, but this would be handy for short trips (like down the street and the like).

One gallon of gas - $3.49

One used four wheel drive SUV that gets 30+ Miles Per Gallon - $15,999

Purchasing it used for $5000 UNDER bluebook because the dealership did not realize it was a hybrid - PRICELESS
