Why is my hybrid hwy so horrible vs an equivalent weight ICE only vehicle... It still seems to have an advantage... just not as large of one.

Or even more fun, use the posters at Edmunds as your Escape sampling base. For the 4WD Escape, the average is 14 MPGs mixed. Contrasted against my 4WD FEH at 33.4, and that's more then 238% the FE of the nonhybrid equivalent. (Yeah, I know, a large sample base at Edmunds vs my own personal FE isn't exactly fair.)
