...Base and Limited? The 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid Base model gets an estimated 34/31 MPG. The 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid Limited model gets an estimated 30/27 MPG. Yet they both have the same engines and drive train. The only difference between the two is accessories (such as audio system, leather, ambient lighting, etc). There is a 200lb difference in weight (the Limited being heavier) but is that the reason why there is such a big difference in MPG ratings? These ratings are from the Ford site, other sites report different ratings (some reporting equal MPG for both models). Just curious as to what is causing this MPG difference between the two.
