I’ve hired quite a few Escape’s in Florida over the years, round the doors we never get better than about 23/24mpg, on a long run being very careful I once got 31mpg but it didn’t last!.
Mind you with petrol over there at $2.25 a gallon last trip driving still works out cheaper 🙂
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
