If the electric Focus would survive up here, I'd probably get one in a heartbeat. 95% of my driving is within ~100KMs of home. I could even plug in at the lake when we're there for a weekend/week/whatever. This is why the Escape has only garnered 4000KMs in the last 5 months or so. 
I keep driving the Focus everywhere. Gas at 1.15/L and up makes you take the economical route for sure.
Of course, when the Focus gets "parked" for reworking later this year I'll rock the Escape first-up with the new tires/rims that are coming.
Truth be told, I think I'm just about done being a slave to the "new car" consumerist machine, even with the new Focus being as sweet as it is. I'm tired of car payments. Once the truck is paid off, time will tell where my money goes.
