My wife just totaled our 2007 Hybrid. I can not find any for sale right now.We were getting ~29 mpg with it. If I were to buy an Escape (non Hybrid) with the 2.3L engine, how much worse will my mileage be. We do 95% of our driving on the highway.

Also, what is the difference in mileage between the 2.3L and the 3.0L v-6?

 

Sorry to hear about the loss of your 2007 FEH. Hope this helps you make your decision.

Here are the 2010 model year EPA numbers according to FuelEconomy.gov: (4cy = 2.5L, 6cyl (FFV) = 3.0L)

FWD:
4cyl Auto - 21/28
4cy Manu - 22/28
6cyl Auto - 19/25 (E85 - 14/19)
FEH CVT - 34/31

4WD:
4cyl Auto - 20/26
6cyl Auto - 18/23 (E85 - 13/17)
FEH CVT - 30/27

 

Estimated Fuel cost for a year (15000 miles) are as follows (assuming $2.73/gal for regular/E10 and $2.38/gal for E85):

FWD:
4cyl Auto - $1781
4cyl Manu - $1708
6cyl Auto - $1949 (E85-$2231)
FEH CVT - $1282

4WD:
4cyl Auto - $1863
6cyl Auto - $2048 (E85-$2549)
FEH CVY - $1413

 

Awesome, that is exactly what I was looking for (but couldn't find)!!!

Thanks
