My 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid promised 32 MPG. It only delivered that ONCE on a mild Spring day in San Diego. I live in the Pocatello, ID area. 4500 ft AMSL. During the Winter with temps -15F to +35F, the vehicle delivered 21 MPG. Nearly 100% ICE, little help from the battery. Summer ranges from +70 to +103F. Air conditioner needs the ICE running, so 26 MPG. In the Spring/Fall for a couple weeks, the vehicle could operation with no heating, no cooling and engine in ECO mode. The reward was 28 MPG.
Ditched the Mariner for a 2015 F150 SuperCrew with EcoBoost V6 engine. 21 to 32 MPG depending on how we drive it. Ethanol Free regular gas always. No more hybrids or EVs in my household.
