[Hadamustang1]

Keeping the MM.. I have a car allowance.. Guess I want the biggest fastest Hybrid out there..

Is your mileage going to be mostly city or highway?

I had a Toyota Highlander Hybrid, great vehicle. Sucker got up and mooooooved when you nailed it. I almost miss it.

The new Ford Fusion Hybrids are suppose to be awesome. Drive one and see what you think.

^^ +1 ^^

It recently won a Hybrid comparo done by C&D.
They loved it.

I've been thinking about a Fusion Hybrid myself, I like the styling and all of the reviews it's been getting.

Hybrids get their best mileage in city driving. My chief swears by his VW Jetta diesel and he commutes 100 miles daily. He gets mid 40s. VW says their new direct injection diesels do even better.

+1 on the TDI. Nothing touches it for hwy mpg's

 

[justbob]

I vote for the fusion.

Tahoe/Escalade Hybrid

Camping, beat on? Then a Hybrid CBT is what you need:lol:

I wouldn't purchase anything but a Ford at this point.

Ford Escape Hybrid is really nice. One of my client has the Mercury Mariner Hybrid and loved it. He said it takes some time to re-learn how to drive to maximize gas mileage but was doing 1200-1300 miles on like 2 full tanks of gas.

+1 on the TDI. Nothing touches it for hwy mpg's

My buddies wife has a 06' TDI Jetta auto and gets 47mpg on mostly highway driving. They're a sweet little car.

 

[Glockafella]

I hate to say it, But the new Diesel Jettas the one I would pick

Check out the Tesla, I hear its wicked fast and maybe totally electric to boot. Sorry I don't know much more about it.

The wife has an Escape Hybrid, averages 32 - 34 mpg on the highway, but in town gets better, another 2 mpg or so.

Agree with Ray, a diesel may be the best way to go for good highway mileage.

Tesla Roadster starting at $101,500 >>>>> http://www.teslamotors.com/

You could buy a bunch of MM 91 Octane for that amount. About 507,000 miles worth @ $4.00 per gallon or about 18 years of your daily 110 mile commute.

I believe the VW diesel comes in a wagon also.

I would also respectfully ask you to think hard about supporting Ford because of the current dire situation we face with Government take over of the US auto industry. We need to think about rewarding Ford for doing the right thing. You know the US Government will ultimately stack the deck against Ford and they will eventually get punished for doing the right thing.
