Hello FFH owners, I'm a new member thinking of buying the FFH SE 2015 model. It's not only my first time buying a hybrid but also buying a car and I had some questions: I see lots of threads about having to "get" the high MPGs and thinking about how to drive better. Is this something that substantially affects daily driving? I mean do you reach places later and does it worsen the Ford driving experience? Do you have to spend money installing things to improve the mileage? I live in Michigan, you know the winters there. I read someone say a hybrid has less advantages in cold climes. What's the basis for that? Even with the obvious savings this car gives (even if it's not in 40s) why do only a few dealers stock them? I searched and all dealers had the cars in their "extended" inventory. I'm assuming that means it's not "on the lot". Is this because people are not aware or is it due to the mileage controversy? What kind of price difference will I see if I buy a 2014 FFH SE as opposed to a 2015 one this time of the year (December 2014) and it is worth it? For those who have had FFH that deliver less than 40 mpg, do you get any support fromt he dealerships to imrpove this? Basically what do you do if you get a bad egg? Does using tools like TrueCar help decrease the haggling. I have a friend who may be able to give me a X plan PIN. Does this make the buying simple?I know that's a lot of questions but I would appreciate the help! Thanks, Sid
