I'll Have a Small Helping of 87 Octane

Almost all of the driving I do is along our interstate highway system. It also is nice living in the south where you don’t have to dodge all of the pot-holes that you find in northern states. Although those evasive course challenges do provide addition skills that they don’t normally teach in your typical driver’s training course in high school.

The biggest savings in fuel efficiencies with the Escalade 2-Mode Hybrid is in stop and go city driving. Most think there is no measureable savings driving on the highway. On a recent trip to Raleigh, NC and back I averaged 21.9 miles per gallon.

This trip included rolling hills along I-85 between Charlotte and Greensboro. It also included traffic lights along US 421 and US 64. Before I encountered the rolling hills and the traffic lights, the Hybrid’s average fuel economy was over 24 miles per gallon.

Escalade Hybrid – it’s just not for city driving.
