Replying to: bzribee (Jul 20, 2007 11:11 am) Go to the following for EPA gas mileage info: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm It gives you the ratings for all cars under the old and new EPA measurement system. The 2008 Ford Escape AWD is now rated at 22mpg highway, but under the old system it would've been rated at 24mpg, an improvement over the pre-2008 models. I've read that they eliminated the power steering pump to help improve gas mileage.
