Alright, I know this isn't a 'Car Forum' but I was curious about something.

I bought my Ford Escape Hybrid SUV in August of 2007 and I LOVE IT! Currently I'm getting about 425 Miles out of a 13 gallon tank which averages to about 32 mpg. In school speed zones and anywhere I'm driving under 30 mph as long as I don't gun it upon take off, I can run it on battery which saves me even more.

I've heard several things from various people about ways to save on gas, like if I put it at cruise control on the highway at about 65 mph, it saves me more but I haven't confirmed this in any way.

Are there any other Hybrid owners that might have tips or suggestions on how to save more gas or imcrease or improve on the gas saving consumption?
