New FEH owner.
Just took delivery of my FEH last night! only 22 miles on the odometer. :) Whoo hoo!

Congrats! I look forward to hearing of your experiences and opinions from the SUV side of the spectrum.

Way to go! Welcome to the hybrid club. There's plenty to learn and enjoy about your hybrid. I look forward to seeing your info in the mileage database. The more the merrier!
I'm curious what was your previous vehicle (and mpg)? |
Thanks! My previous vehicle was a 1994 Integra GSR that I bought all the way back in 1998. When I bought it, there were 33K miles on the odometer. When I traded it, there were 140,233 miles on the odometer, so it certainly did a nice job for me. My average mpg in that car was between 27 and 32, depending on how much of a leadfoot I was. I will definately miss that car, and to be honest, I really think it would have made it to 200K with no problems.
While i'm not expecting to improve my mpg numbers with the Escape, I love the hybrid technology and decided that it was time for something with some more room and a better view of the road. If I was going to break down and buy an SUV, it absolutely had to be a hybrid. I'm generally very anti-SUV. In any event, I very happy with the Escape. It seems to have plenty of power for a vehicle its size, and its fun to drive. I drove home from the dealership last night (mix of hills and stoplights) and to work this morning (1/2 hills and stoplights and 1/2 highway driving) and my ave. MPG according to the computer is 26.6. So, not too shabby for a recovering lead foot. :) |
Congrats Me 2 GBL!
I have one also but I have learned to delete the lead foot. My latest tank is 34.7. Keep posting and we will try to help you with any questions or problems. Mike |
Welcome!
Glad you joned the hybrid club. I have a warm spot in my heart for Ford drivers as I come from a Ford family. Be sure to put your FEH in the vehicle mileage database. I think the FEH section of it needs more owners.

question for other FEH owners
Garth, congrats. and re: that Acura that served you well: a very good friend and colleague had an mid-80s Legend that went 300K and was going strong when it was stolen. He replaced it with a TL Type S. And you're correct: 200K is common for Integras.

Like the car name
I laugh every time the car goes into "stealth" mode so your name "Shhh, Listen" is perfect. btw I grew up in Central Mass (WeBo) and lived in the city and surrounding area until moving Downeast 5 yrs ago.

C&J aka Gas Pirates As for downeast Maine, I'm a big fan. Portland has a nice feel to it, and I would do anything to figure out how to live in Bar Harbor. |
