I just found this forum today. My wife and I drive a 2010 Escape hybrid 4WD. I haven't done anything to it yet, but I have a few thoughts. We had a FWD one prior to this that was rear ended and totaled because the battery was cracked in the accident and the insurance company said that ford said it was $9,500 to replace with a new one !!!!!!!!!!!! The FWD version we had was getting about 31 mpg average. It had tires with not much tread life left. Now with the 4WD version with new, non LRR tires we are getting about 28 mpg. I'm trying to figure out what else I can do to bump up that mpg. I just put in a K&N filter to hopefully help it breathe easier. Also I have been keeping the tire pressure up around 40psi.
