No need for hybrid unless you want bigger car w/ lower MPG. Most Hybrids are no gas = no go. To be free of gas pumps and sudden gas outs, you need an Electric Vehicle. [EV]

Escape Hybrid is HARD, saves $250,000 in gas


[Credit = Autoblog.com photo gallery]

Ford is killing off the * Fix or repair daily* curse.

One of the concerns people have about hybrid vehicles is the durability of the complex drivetrains. Ford is helping to put some of that concern to rest. Less than two years ago a fleet of eighteen Escape Hybrids joined the ranks of New York City taxis. In that short span of time each one of them has now completed over 175,000 miles of service and saved an estimated $250,000 in fuel costs.

If a vehicle can survive the constant stop and go traffic of New York city streets while accumulating the same mileage as an average driver collects in 11 years, it's probably doing okay.
