I have a 4WD Escape that I received back on 20th of October (@MSRP!) and have been trading numbers MPG back and forth with people @ edmunds, hybrid cars etc. I'm a bit confused by the numbers I C here and other places ... they seem rather low. I commute approx 87 miles to and from work each day with about 10% traffic and 5% local roads and consistently get around 32mpg. I should mention that assume that I keep the speed to 65mph or less. Perhaps the fuel efficiency numbers displayed on the hybrid system are inaccurate ?

I have not went through the trouble of doing the math/gallons/odometer calcuations, though will for the purposes of providing data here. Has anyone found a disparity between the numbers displayed on the navigation/hybrid system and the actual mileage?

FYI I also reguarly get above 35 but as high as 44 (driving very conservatively) locally.
