Ever Driven a Hybrid????

Recently I had to go TDY for my job and they made me use a Gov't Vehicle. The vehicle they gave me was a Ford Escape Hybrid. I had never driven a Ford in my life and asked if I could get a Chevy truck instead, of course they said no so off on my 8 hour drive I went in this Ford Hybrid.

After about an hour of driving, bored, I decided to see what kind of mileage this thing was getting. I was absolutely amazed that this thing got 41 mpg at 70 mph, of course it went down a little around town.

The Escape was an OK vehicle, comfort was so so, but I am sure that this was not the top of the line model.

Just thought it was interesting at the MPG that some of these Hybrids get especially a SUV like this.
