Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Dave from the DC area and I'm picking up my 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid 4x4 this afternoon. I'm really excited to get into learning more about hybrid technology and getting the most mpg possible out of it.
I'm trading in my '01 ford explorer sport, so net mpg gain should be 15+.

There seems to be a ton of information here==I'm excited to drink it all in.

We have some excellent FEH drivers and a FAQ to help you get started. I would also recommend that after the 'dealer' tank, you consider recording your mileage in the database. Having a record makes it easier to identify what works and doesn't work.

GOOD LUCK!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new hybrid! I hope you get great mileage and stick around here on GH to comment about it with all of us- if you have any questions, there are plenty of people here who know a lot about hybrids, and you might be able to help others. Good luck and see you on the forum!

Hello and welcome to the club!

It's always good to see another FEH owner; feel free to look around, ask questions, and above all else, enjoy your new vehicle! As Bob mentioned, I highly encourage you to read the FEH FAQ, and to make use of our forums!
