My wife and I just bought her a FEH and we love it so far. We were looking and fuel-efficient vehicles due to gas prices and almost bought a Vibe, but I wanted something a bit bigger(safer). So the Escape Hybrid was perfect. We have had it 1 week and the average econ is 27.8 and rising. I've always liked the Escape and I used to work at a Ford dealership as a technician. I took a class on the FEH before I quit there, so I know alot about how they work. Anyway, looking forward to getting 30mpg plus!
