As I stated in the original email, I have about 90,000 klms on my 2008 Escape hybrid and I have continually met the posted mileage numbers. I have also done about 10K in a Prius.

I appreciate that the vent covers help but that will not make up the needed discrepancy to get even close to the posted mileage numbers. I do think that Ford should take notice of this "invention" and make these part of the design. I do live in BC where the winter temps range from about 0(32) to 10(50) degrees, not the optimum for hybrids I agree but still........12lts/100klms ( that's 19.6 MPG US) on the gas engine..... That sucks no matter where you live. The worst mileage for any 2 liter engine made!

I have approx 3000 klms(2000 miles) and have achieved only 6.2 lts/100klm. My driving is very conservative and in primarily level terrain with maximizing mileage as much as possible. This means getting it into EV mode as much as possible. My lifetime summary shows that I have kept it in EV for more than 50% of the total mileage which implies that in the 1300 klms that the gas is being used, I am probably getting about 12 lts/100klms. The hybrid system is doing what it is supoosed to do but this new engine seems to be VERY INEFFICIENT and that leaves me VERY DISSAPOINTED. I also have a 2008 Escape 4x4 Hybrid with 90,000 klms which is getting about 7.5 lts/100klms(very happy).
