I don't know where you got the 25mpg figure-- probably the same place as the Ferrari Hybrid-- but the fact is the Escape is the only 4WD hybrid.

It gets 30 highway, which is still too low to allow it a deduction. Why should a 30 mpg suv hybrid get a ~$600 handout, while 40 mpg Civics/Echos/Jettas are excluded?????
I know I'd be pissed if my SUV neighbor said "I got $600 from Uncle Sam" while my smaller, more efficient 40 mpg car was excluded.

P.S. The reason it's LEV in the central U.S. is because it's cheaper for Ford to provide a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty than to provide a PZEV 10 year/150,000 mile warranty.
