Significant improvement over the F-150 which got between 12-14 in the city and 17-19 on the highway.
Get used to gassing up 5x as often! My parents went from a 2008 Wrangler (17,18MPG) to a 2013 Escape 2.0 Eco-Boast. The tank is ridiculously small and they're gassing it up every 3 days. They used to be able to get 6 or 7 days out of the warnger (with less MPG).

The new escapes are nice, though.
