Q: Starting a new job that will mean 100 miles round trip a day but also need awd. Driving is 60% highway. Was thinking of a hybrid Escape and hoping to get about 30 mpg.
A: You can have 30 mpg, or you can have awd. You can't have both. I traipsed through the EPA fuel economy ratings (www.fueleconomy.gov) and came up with a few suggestions. Starting point is the Escape hybrid, rated 29 mpg in town, 27 on the highway and 28 in combined driving. Using the hwy number as the target: Couple of Subarus, Forester and Impreza, rated 20/26/22 and 20/27/22 respectively. Good awd systems, good reliability record, good crash scores. A personal favorite: Honda CR-V, rated 20/26/22. And one from left field, Suzuki SX-4, the hatchback, not the new sedan. I thought it drove quite nicely and had a lot of features for the price.
