Actually, the 'standard' Escape and Mariner Hybrids offer an instant and Avg fuel economy readout in the gauge cluster. If you opt ($1200) for the Hybrid/Nav radio you get an FE graph that shows the last 15min as well as an average FE since last reset. There is also an instant average bar graph but it is pretty useless.
