There's no doubt that you can save fuel costs with Mariner Hybrid, the world's most fuel-efficient SUV, which divides the power chores between a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder gas engine with an electric traction motor to deliver EPA-estimated mpg of 34 city and 31 hwy (for front-wheel-drive models).*
And there’s more good news. If you purchase your Mariner Hybrid by September 30, 2009, you’re eligible for a tax credit of as much as $1,500 (FWD) or $975 (4WD).**
If you purchase a Mariner Hybrid between October 1, 2009, and March 31, 2010, the tax credits are reduced to $750 (FWD) or $487.50 (4WD). No tax credit amounts are available for hybrids purchased after March 31, 2010.
It all adds up to a very good deal.
