The K&N won't help MPG one bit. My advise is to go back to paper if you want the best filtration. It's more effort to maintain the K&N properly, as too much/too little oil on the filter can cause problems. It probably won't matter much one way or the other, but I plan to go back to paper on my motorcycle the next time I dig into it.
A grill block and roof rack delete is likely the easiest/best mods.
Now that I'm seeing this thread, I'm considering a hybrid Escape myself. Any typical problem areas or years to be aware of? Are there better alternatives to the 4x4 Escape hybrid?
