- - 10 FEH 4x4 (https://electricvehicleforums.com/forums/ford-escape-hybrid-26/10-feh-4x4-23852/)

This thing has been great in this blizzard we have had for the last week in DC. This thing goes everywhere. Its nice to get to work on days when others have to stay in. This thing has paid for itself in mileage and ability.

One happy Ford owner.

cool .....

have you tried reverse in some thick stuff yet?

you have the pair huh (fusion & escape).

i am thinking of getting a 10 fusion but ice 4 cyl.

nice cars.

I have done reverse in thick stuff. It will stop on you and you need to plan. It will rock fine, just dont plan on a long reverse in deep stuff. We have had about 4 feet this week and I have driven over 200 miles this week through some pretty nasty stuff. It does great.

We do have the pair. I had a 2007 Hyundai Tucson 4x4 and I was getting about 12-14mpg with work, 16 city and 22 hi-way. I drive similar to a mailman. I spend all day in neighborhoods collecting data on houses and its all stop and go. It was killing me. Now I get 28-30mpg in the FEH. I got 27mpg this week with all the snow. I had to use it as a plow in many neighborhoods I went into. Great vehicle.

My wife had a 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid that got about 38 on the hi-way, but only about 22 in town. It was also very jerky and unrefined. Now she can drive to work and back and is in EV mode most of the way. She had the thing for almost a month before she realized it had no gas cap, she knew but didnt really get it until she went to use it. LOL... She now averages 35-40 on a tank.

We looked at the numbers and how miserable she was in the Accord and bought the pair. We are both so happy now.

They are both great vehicles.

HuH? you're happy you can go to work when everyone else stays home? Are you new to this country? :)

If I am not on the road, I am not making money. Sitting at home just lets me look at the bills LOL...

interesting & simular. we just traded a 07 honda pilot my wife drives for the 07 feh 4x4, . ditto, pilot was a gas hog...........great unit but, the mpg gets old.

however, unlike u w) your 10 feh i have not hit the sweet spot of 28mpg on metro drive w) ours yet. hope to resolve this soon. did pull that on hwy.

best of luck
