Ford Escape Gas Mileage

The Ford Escape was introduced in 2001 as Ford’s entry into the two-row mid-size SUV segment. It was designed in conjunction with Mazda, and shares many components with the Mazda Tribute, as well as with the Mercury Mariner.

The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid (shown above) is the most fuel efficient SUV sold in the United States, with the front wheel drive version delivering 34 city and 30 highway miles per gallon, while the four wheel drive version hauls down 29 city and 27 highway. The non-hybrid Escape is available with either a 2.4 liter four cylinder or a 3.0 liter six.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.

I’m very pleased with my Escape Hybrid (2008 model). Despite living on a gravel road in snow country, I’m getting around 28 mpg (overall) in winter, and 32 in summer — with 4WD! And that’s with liberal use of heated seats and such in the winter, too. I’m surprised mileage isn’t more, considering the light weight and small engine, but it’s a great start.
