“Saves me about $400 a month in fuel.”

As opposed to driving what?

We got rid of a Chevy Trailblazer. 4 wheel drive, V6 and 13 MPG consistently.

Ford Escape hybrid, 4 wheel drive, 31 MPG average, 27 in the winter when it wants to keep running the engine to keep the cat coverter hot. I’ve read that if the EPA didn’t require the cat stay hot, they would get close to 40 mpg.

It’s a little smaller but accelerates as well as the Chevy. Feels no different that a regular SUV except it makes no noise coming up the drive.
