adjusting when the gas motor kicks in
I have a 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. I bought it used about two months ago. Ford replace the battery about two weeks ago. I have to barely touch the gas pedal to keep it in electric only when accelerating from stop. When I was test driving used Escapes I don’t recall any of the others being this sensitive. I only get about 27 MPG average and that is driving like a little old lady.:cry: Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the sensitivity of the gas motor "kicking in" so it stays in battery only mode longer?
I love the way it drives, but it is frustrating to not get the MPG that I should be getting.:angry:
thanks for you help,
Dan
