We have a new FFH. I would rate its performance is peppy. The power out of the FFH w 2.5L I4 & the electric assist will be more than the straight I4 in the regular fusions, so one might have to compare the FFH against a V6 FF. That would increase the advantage of the FFH. Our daughter moved out to 42 mi from work recently & she was getting ~20 mph on her late model, pretty good, mid sized SUV. She traded for a new FFH which is getting 38-40 mpg on the same trip (includes access to car pool lanes with the FFH). Her usage is ~2000 mi/mo. With the SUV that was 100 gallons, it is 50 gallons with the FFH. That is a saving of around $150/mo @ todays prices, would be more if prices go up. Our daughter in law got a Honda civic Hybrid 6 years ago. she also drives in a ways, has put 200k mi on it in 6 years. It also gets 40 mpg. she has saved 5000 gallons or ~$15,000 at todays prices.
