I brake for the charge!

We’re a two hybrid family now as we replaced our guzzling Volvo XC90 with a Ford Escape Hybrid, which joins my 2007 Altima Hybrid. And by replaced, I mean I still need to find someone to buy the XC90. And by guzzling, if you’re a prospective buyer, I mean … ah, can’t candy-coat that one. It guzzled. I must be doing something wrong with the Escape, though, as so far I’m only getting low 20s.

Speaking of hybrids, boston.com ran a great video detailing a competition between the Globe’s hybrid owners — who would get the best gas mileage driving from a Whole Foods in Cambridge to a local Hummer dealer? (It includes my favorite baseball beat reporter, the lovely and talented Amalie Benjamin.)
