I still think that comparing an FEH to an FE is not valid in most cases. I would never have purchased a non-hybrid Escape. I would compare it to the ride it replaced and possibly the ride I may have considered buying.
When comparing it to the ride I was considering (a BMW x3) which gets 17/25 compared to 33/31 and is (roughly) the same price.
When you take this into consideration, I made out well buying the FEH instead. And you all here now have me to kick around.
