Earth Day: How far must you drive your hybrid before it pays off? 1 year ago on Autoblog Green

Hybrids help you save gas at the pump, this is something we all know.

Is the Ford Escape hybrid really the "most fuel efficient SUV"? 2 years ago on Autoblog Green

I just saw a video that included an ad that claims the 2008 Ford Escape hybrid was "the most fuel efficient SUV on Earth." Ford has said this for years and, for years, Ford was right.

All this reading, reading, reading. Sometimes you just want to kick back and let your audio-visual receptor focus on some moving images, right? That's what my stack of Simpsons DVDs is all about but if you're ready for a quick 30 seconds about the 2008 Mercury Mariner hybrid, Ford's got a ...
