How funny...

I just filled up the HAH and the V6 Escape yesterday. It took nearly the same amount of fuel! Within two tenths of a gallon. The difference was, I went 400 miles in the HAH, whereas my wife went only 260 miles in her Escape!

MPGs from our last tanks;

Insight 102.2
VW Golf TDI 48.7
Suburban 10.2

MPG for last year;
Insight 13527 miles at 90.7 MPG =149 gallons
VW Golf TDI 25056 miles at 47.9 MPG =524 gallons
Suburban 3009 miles 11.1 MPG =270 gallons

It's not a fair comparison because I have never pulled a trailer with the Insight but the Burban used 121 gallons more then the Insight to go 10518 miles less....Louis

Looks like you need to get your wife a FEH...

First 4WD Hypermiler

Have you read the FEH FAQ?

Live in Michigan? Let it be known in Michigan Roll Call

Read My Automotive Blog at Rich Rambles

That would be nice. But we'd take quite a hit on trade in...

The last time I checked, we'd have to come out of pocket slightly over $10K to trade up to the FEH.

I drive 20K miles/year, and my wife drives 10K in her Explorer. Within $10 we spent the exact same amount on gas over the past 12 months!!

Double the miles at double the mileage
