Robert Nardelli of Chrysler drove his company's Aspen Hybrid S.U.V., which gets 22 miles per gallon on the highway and 20 in the city. Ford's Alan Mulally drove an Escape Hybrid S.U.V. -- 31 m.p.g. on the highway and 34 in the city. And Rick Wagoner of General Motors drove a Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid Sedan. His was the most efficient on the highway, averaging 34 m.p.g., but only 26 in the city.
