What should the tire pressure be on Ford Escape Hybrid 2005?

200: you see a car with an arm hanging out the window and you think "boy, is he killing his mileage!"

2000 Honda Insight. Kenwood MP3 head unit, Blaupunkt door speakers, dual Cobalt amps, 3 MTX stealth subs, 4th very-high-mounted brake light, Sumitomo tires, yellow-top, hot induction air mod, tinted, SG2, MIMA, center armrest.


best tank 78.4 mpg

w00t! 200!!

201. You refer to yourself as a Space traveler because you follow trucks that go an ideal speed on the x-way.
202. You run out of gas trying to get your first 600 mile tank and don’t stop because you still have a few miles left.

203. Because you so infrequently gas up you always open the trunk first before you realize the gas door is down and the trunk is up..

204. After researching and experimenting with methods to achieve the best fuel economy, you write them up and give copy to your Dealer for sharing with new buyers.
205. Then you lecture Dealer about all the wrong things he told you during delivery check-out. He smiles, admits he doesn't get it and just wants to sell "real" cars.
206. You spend an extra five minutes every day, driving the last mile around the neighborhood in EV mode to get back the MPG lost on short commute.
207. You turn key to off position at long stoplight if ICE doesn't shut-off, to avoid wasting gas on idling.
208. You actually enjoy freeway slow & go traffic now so you can see how many miles you can drive in EV mode.
209. Starting a non-hybrid car you forget to turn the key long enough and step on gas to crank the engine.
210. You find yourself sitting in the caged cargo space with your dog so an extra person can ride with your family to the park (downsizing - happened to me last weekend).
211. On vacations you have everybody cram their bags under their feet so you can maximize your MPG without having luggage on the roof rack causing air drag.
212. When your wife asks why you are following so close to a truck in the slow lane, you say the freeway exit is soon (which is actually 5 miles away).
213. You proudly tell others you don't have to plug-in your hybrid for recharge, when secretly you wish you could.

214. Your friend suggests you might want to cut an opening below your feet so that you can push the car along Flintstone style and you remind them that this would cause drag, no thanks! (This one comes courtesy of Kenny's humour today)

215. You consider driving on near empty, only filling up with $1 at a time since the 1 gallon weighs less than 10 gallons but reconsider when trying to figure the total tank mpg calculations would take a calculus major.

216. You consider losing weight to increase your mpg

217. You warn people about your driving habits so that they might suggest driving in their car instead (because who wants two people in your car and mess up your average???!!!)

218. You consider a long road trip to the mojave desert so that you can cheat and really maximize your mpg average... (no traffic).. pure coasting

219. You consider calling in to work late so that you can drive on a warmer Sun-heated engine than in the colder morning temps

220. Stop signs are only a suggestion, right?

221. You pay to have your windows tinted, not because they look cool.. but because they reduce the amount of outside heat coming into your car thus necessitating less a/c (did it!)

222. You consider going 'out' to lunch when at work but think the short drive is not worth ruining the mpg.

223. You consider moving to a warmer climate during winters to maintain the mpg

224. You tell your realtor when looking to buy a new home, "Can we find a house that's a little farther from my work? This simply won't give me sufficient time to warm up the engine."

225. You try to calculate how much your side mirrors are affecting your wind resistance. "I don't need that mirror, do I?"

226. You consider taking out the passenger seat when no-one is driving with you to reduce weight.

227. You realize you now sound like that girl "One time, at band camp..." but it's "One time, I got 65 mpg...."

Latest trip 60 MPG!

Careful with this one... you have to know your upcoming terrain. One trip my light came on just before the last gas station. I looked at my MPG display and saw that I was getting 45 MPG on this tank of gas, so I figured I could easily make the 17 miles to our destination. Especially since I had previously driven almost 35 city miles on another occasion with the fuel light on. Probably would have made it just fine, except there is this large hill to go over. As you all know, steep hills require more gas. I think that also the angle slid the remaining gas to the back corner of the tank, causing the sensor to think I was nuts. My '02 Prius shut down with master alarm. This was about 1 mile from the exit, and about 100 yards from the crest of the hill. Fortunately, my father was able to bring me a gas can. How embarrassing!!!

225. You try to calculate how much your side mirrors are affecting your wind resistance. "I don't need that mirror, do I?"


...remember when low-end cars really did only have a driver side mirror? Late 70s/early 80s- not sure if it was to lower costs or drag.

226. You mentally curse an upcoming ambulence for honking you out of the way during a FAS roll.
