Not yet, it's been piss poor weather and I haven't gotten out or popped a tire. I am not concerned about it though.

Its a donut, not a full sized tire. Same as the ones that come with the non-hybrid/electric models. The dealer actually literally took it out of a standard model that was in the lot.

When the care is first purchase (at least in my case) the Eco-cruise control in not activated, my mileage on my first trip (when i was ignorant that there was such a thing as eco cruise) was 35 mpg. I have yet to travel a great distance with the eco cruise activated but I am hoping/expecting for more then 35.

Just to update... Went back to the dealer and replaced the tire inflation kit with spare and jack. The set up fits exactly in the hybrid as it would in the non-hybrid vehicles, a foam insert under the spare tire centers the tire on the mounting bracket and holds the jack and wrench No lost space in the trunk what so ever. Not even a jack rolling loose in the back seats.

Fair enough, if the spare tire delete was necessary then we wouldn't have bought the car. But now I've got it and like it and realize that it doesn't have the spare...frustrating that ford allowed the sales people to start selling the cars before even training them on the actual vehicle and not just the brochures.

So I recently purchased a 2013 FFH, was told in November when I ordered the car that there would definitely be a spare tire in the car. Low and behold, after I picked it up from the dealer I get an air pump with an aerosol can. I have had blowouts, nails in sidewalls, and midnight flats. I want my spare tire. Has anyone actually replaced the patch kit with a spare tire?
