I purchased a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid that is giving me 38 miles to the gallon and I want to improve the mileage. I have heard that a second battery can be installed along with a home charging system. Engine control modifications would also need to be added to enable the batteries to run down farther before the gas engine kicks in. I am also interested in converting the gas engine to E-85 capability. I am unable to find any information about accomplishing these goals and would appreciate any leads toward finding some help and guidance.
