[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1367622, member: 7900"] [FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]While I can't speak for the hybrid, the wife and I have a regular Mercury Mariner, which is the Mercury version of the Escape. Driving around town, we are getting roughly 25-27 mpg. Personally, I don't like the idea of the electrics. In the event of an accident, that big battery can be an additional hazard. Considering also that you would lose in depreciation as soon as you drive off the lot, your tax credit might not be such a great deal. I would consider a used Escape or Mariner to avoid the loss of depreciation. Check out Diffee Ford's website for their used ones. They are in El Reno. .[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
