I was going to buy the ffh but then got the ffe because of a screaming deal on the last 2013 on the dealer lot. My family just did a 2000 mile trip from Oregon to California (disneyland). With 2 adults 3 teens and luggage we averaged 44 mpg. We did a fair amount of mtn. Driving due to our decision to drive over the sieras and stop in reno for a couple nights. I would not do get the ffh after having the ffe. One benefit was that the battery would recharge on the downhill sides. In fact the best part of the trip was entering the "grapevine" with 1/4 tank of gas. Going up the mtn I ran in ev mode and easily scaled the mtn without overheating or working the car over. On the way down it charged the battery that I had depleted and I found myself with the same 1/4 tank of gas and a full battery on the bottom of the other side. I was giddy with excitement and knew in that moment that driving an ev vehicle will be forever in my future. Everywhere we went including Disneyland had preferential parking spaces for electric vehicles. Large parking spots where other ev owners were careful not to ding up my new car. Also we charged and drove around locally in those places on electric. On the flipside we hardly ever use gas while at home. My wife likes to run to the store almost every day for some ingredient that she needs. Those short trips save us a ton of money on fuel. I love love love my ffe. Best decision I have made this year.
