At slow speeds, the quiet gas engine disengages and a virtually silent electric motor takes over. Unless I were blindfolded--not a great idea while driving any car--I would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the Escape Hybrid and the gas-only model. But there's one important difference: this green machine averages 35 m.p.g. off the highway--15 m.p.g. more than the regular Escape--proving...
