Looks like Ford is the first to really start implementing newer gas saving solutions on conventional gas autos in the US that has been around in other parts of the world.

Yesterday, matapule drove over 500 miles in his 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. He averaged 41.3 mpg for the round trip, front door to front door. He drove a steady pace of 60 mph on the freeways when able. For two hours out of 10 hours driving, it was stop and go traffic. No air conditioning and tires properly inflated. That's not too bad.
