700km = ~435miles, 32500 is Canadian $, and you cannot just use the exchange rate as the msrp is higher up here the in the US. 32500 was out the door including doc fees etc.

Yesterday, I filled up the tank (2008 FEH) with 12.7 gallon for 401 miles shown in my trip meter or 31.6 MPG. I do not change my driving habit and always turn on the A/C. For same condition I get 13~14 MPG on 2005 Explorer sport trac and 17~18 MPG on 2006 Honda Odyssey. Happy owner of 2008 FEH.

Special Order Delay FEH by rnarg

Ordered mine on 07/30/2007. At the time of order I wasn't aware of order delays, and I don't believe the dealer was
since he told me 4-6 weeks for delivery.
 
I checked recently for a status of my order and was told by dealer that all FEH's are on "National Back Order" (whatever that means). Checked 2 days ago with FORD Customer Service who advised that they are presently building June special orders but couldn't give me a time when June orders would be completed.
 
Yesterday, I received a call from a different FORD dealer, one that I had visited while shopping for the vehicle I wanted. He says he had just received 2 2008's and wanted to know if I were still interested. Unfortunately, mine has been ordered with a $1,000 Non-refundable deposit.
 
At the time I was shopping I only found one available. It was loaded with every option available and some additional dealer installed accessories. They were asking a hefty price along with a $3,000 "adendum" they called it.
(in other words a $3,000 mark-up over the retail sticker)
That's when I decided to order at my local dealer.
 
The dealer who called me regarding the two that he claims to have is located in Chantilly, VA. I have no idea of their pricing.
 
I have been told by a different dealer altogether that FEH orders have been turned over to a FORD division in Detroit and that this usually only happens when the delay problem is caused by suppliers and not by the Ford Production facility. (maybe its the electric motor supplier?)
 
I don't have a clue as to how true that is, so I'll just continue to wait.

All this stuff has me so put off so much that I decided to keep my 4 cylinder KIA.It probably gets better highway mileage than the Escape Hybrid anyway.Thats the problem with Ford and the rest of Detroit...they build the wrong cars.They just dont read the market.

Best of luck. I'm actually quite surprised that my 2008 FEH arrived at all given the dismal delivery stories I've seen online.
 
Even more surprised given that Bow Valley Ford in Canmore, AB likely isn't a major seller compared to the big city dealers across Canada and the United States.

Guess I feel lucky about getting my FEH.. Checked the local dealers here in the KC area and was told that 10 weeks is the average order time and of course no one had any. Did a std internet inquiry and a dealer 25 miles away responded that he had a 4wd black slate one coming in the next day and wondered if I would be interested. Went up to the dealer, gave him my Xplan pin and showed him my trade in and drove away 2 hours later. Window showed 31,105 with Xplan and $500 rebate - out the door at $28766 Not sure if I could have done better, but I was satisfied. (trade in was also fair and reduced the cost another $3000).
Has not of the options except NAV. Would of likes to have the hybrid screens but don't need the GPS side.. The Escape was built 2 weeks before I bought it.
