why is my gas mileage so poor?

I recently purchased a used 2009 escape hybrid 2wd with 42000 miles on it. I think it was probably a fleet car. It's in good shape but I'm only getting 25 miles to the gallon with combined city/hwy driving. And, the gas tank only seems to take 11 gallons when I believe it has a 15 gallon tank. I know it's hot and the aircon has to be on but isn't that still pretty low mileage? Kind of wishing I had bought a new non-hybrid for the same money now. Any info/suggestions would be helpful in making me feel like I made a decent purchase. thanks

I'm proud to say this is my 2nd Escape hybrid. I know it's still new. I have only had it for a couple of weeks now, but I'm impressed. I had a 2005 Escape Hybrid and to be honest this is why I now have a second one. I traded the 05 in on this one and I have been thrilled on the improvements Ford has done on this vehicle. Tha mileage is better, the ride is better, even the looks are better. I'm impressed. I think Ford has a winner with this one.

I bought this vehicle new in 2009 and it has proven to be a great car for a long time. Ended up with 175,000 miles on it and it ran great the entire time. Never had any mechanical issues with it, the hybrid battery ended up dying and it’s way too much money to replace. Just bought a used Ford Edge to replace it. Love Ford vehicles!

I have driven 14 months 23,000 miles. No mechanical problem, gas mileage is as they claim. Quick pik up when need power to take over other car on the highway. My older Honda Accord has 2 second delay when need the power. Dealer adjusted power steering as tight as possible, but need little more tighten for more control at high speed. Need improve wind noise at high speed.
Amazing Vehicle

I've owned the FEH for about 4 months now and driven over 7000 miles. The FEH has been a dream come true! My only complaint is the extreme drop in mileage during a cold Wisconsin winter - which is to be expected (and I've seen) with any vehicle. But overall the excitement of driving the 09 FEH is something unmatched. The AWD kicks in without any change in how the ride feels. Great handling overall for the vehicle. My wife who has a Civic loves to drive it and feels that the car is a decent size.
Enjoying new Escape

After owning '97 and '03 Explorer XLT's I downsized to an Escape and upgraded to a Limted with Nav and auto park. I'm happy with the choice. I do notice less cargo room, but I've adapted. AWD is like having the Explorers in 4WD high all the time. No slipping then gripping. Sync and Nav is still fun after a couple of months. Mileage has been great aroung 30mpg. I mostly do around town driving. The tires were filled with nitrogen. I don't know if the dealer did that or the factory.
Fantastic, luxurious, fun to drive

I couldn't be happier with my new Escape Hybrid. Even during the break-in period, during which MPG is slightly less, the efficiency is stunning. As a city driver, getting 34 mpg in the city in a beautiful, luxurious, peppy SUV is a dream come true. The pick up makes it feel more like a V6 than a 4-cylinder. The interior of the Limited edition is second-to-none, and the Sync feature is incredibly convenient. The car handles wonderfully, the steering and braking are responsive (which is an improvement from 2008, where braking was somewhat problematic, I understand). Could not be happier.
Unstoppable hybrid that's cheap as chips

I picked up my 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid in 2018 with only 65K km on it. I've had zero mechanical issues (other than some rust, but the car came from Alberta, so that's to be expected). The 4WD is capable in the backcountry and the CVT transmission hasn't given me any grief in the mountains or offroading, even rock-crawling decommissioned logging roads. City or country, this 4wd hybrid is perfectly comfortable in either, and it costs pennies to run compared to traditional ICE SUVs.
An awesome car overall - love it!

I got this car about a month ago and have been thoroughly impressed so far! I went with the limited edition one and I'm very happy I did--the navigation is one of the best in the industry, not to mention to helpful fuel economy screen and Sirius information. I believe I'm on my 4th tank of gas, and my last one got 31.5 MPG overall. You can cruise to 40 MPH on electric if you don't accelerate too hard, and the Econ AC is a huge plus. One problem is the interior design--the doors are made of cheap looking plastic material that gets scuffed easily. But don't let this fool you, the car is amazing, and if you hurry you can still get a pretty nice tax credit that helps offset the hybrid premium.
Love the fun even though it's 14 years old!

I actually wonder about its reliability - Still going strong even after 14 years. Only problem I found so far was with the ac. There is a minor leak somewhere.
