1. Get a whopping 20 MPG
instead of the usual 15?

2. It's like a bacon cheeseburger and a diet Coke.

5. It's like eating only 3/4 of that cheeseburger.
33% improvement in gas mileage can only be a good thing. Not incredibly good, but significant.

3. Not much point to it, really.
Even the Escape hybrid only gets about 4 mpg better than the normal.

4. Front-wheel-drive 4-cylinder Eascape = 26 MPG highway.
FWD Escape Hybrid = 30 MPG highway, BUT 35 MPG city.

It matters. Plus, the Duratec 4-banger is a SULEV/PZEV engine, anyway.

Oh, yeah, somebody said something about a Chevy. Yeah, I dunno why you'd wanna buy that piece of shit. ;)
