Buy a Ford Escape Hybrid !!!

I just got mine its a small SUV which is supposed to get 30-36 miles per gallon in town and around 30 on the freeways. In fact it gets around 26 on freeways which isn't too bad and beats most cars. I got it to hold all my Pro photo studio lights and stands as well as my cameras etc, which it does very well. Its quite fast on acceleration as both the electric and gas engine cut in together if you stamp on the peddle and will easily cruse at 80 no trouble.

Most people think hybrids are slow but just take one for a drive you will change your mind. The only bad thing about this car is its made by FORD and the local dealer in Mission valley is crap, when it went in recently to have the ignition switch changed ( engine would not switch off ) they covered the new leather sets with oil and grease marks. Fucking idiots didn't put plastic on them first.

If another car company brings out an SUV that does 30 plus MPG i will switch over , mainly because of the poor dealer service in San Diego.
