Ten phillips

After a year of owning a hybrid SUV, I am pleased to report, despite my spouse's eye-rolling indifference to consistent and thorough and AF-trained trend analysis, that after driving 10,890 miles, we have saved at least $331.15 on gas compared to if we had bought a regular Ford Escape. Which is the equivalent (at today's price near me) of 114 gallons, or about ten trips to the WahWah.

All told, we've gotten 30.929 miles to the gallon over the life of the car, with a high tankful's mpg of 36.258 and a low of 26.291. (My thunderbird used to average about 23 mpg each tank.) Longest distance between fill-ups: 449 miles.
Highest price paid: $2.99
Lowest: $1.99
Average: $2.58
Fun meter: pegged!
