New 06 Escape
I took delivery of my new 06 Escape AWD Hybrid on Friday.
I am amazed with the fact that I am actually driving slower (I have a lead foot) in order to get the best mileage possible.
Two days ownership and I love it.

It's amazing what happens to a driver mentally when they own a hybrid. And even more so how it carries over to our non-hybrid vehicles (when we're stuck operating them because the spouse took the hybrid).

Congrats on the purchase. I look forward to seeing you "stats" in the mileage database.

Welcome to the club!
I think most people tend to play the "try to get Super MPG's" game at first, then try to drive like normal, then end up mixing the two.
It also seems that the hybrid changes us as drivers rather drastically, not just how we drive, but even what annoys us and what doesn't anymore.
Enjoy!
