Ford Training for FEH Fuel Economy

Ford has announced they are planning to offer FEH owners training on methods to help them achieve highest fuel economy possible. See Detroit News article at:
www.detnews.com/2005/autosconsumer/0506/15/G01-215671.htm

Mary Ann Wright, who spearheaded final stage of Ford's FEH development, indicated this program is in the early stages of a pilot now at Ford that would teach Escape Hybrid buyers how to drive to maximize fuel economy.

It will be interesting to hear feedback from people that attend one of these Ford training sessions, since there seems to be conflicting ideas on methods to obtain the best fuel economy.

If anyone hears more about when these Ford training sessions will become available, please post to this thread.

Re: Ford Training for FEH Fuel Economy

Hmm. Sounds pretty interesting. Seeing how I go past the Ford World Headquarters about three times a week, I certainly wouldn't mind stopping by some time and getting/giving advice on how to maximize fuel economy.
