>I’m at a point where if I’m looking for a car that uses fuel, it’s only cars that use the Toyota hybrid tech (or similar) that I’m looking at. At the moment it’s just Toyota, Lexus, most Ford hybrids (but not all).

Don't forget the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid that was just released. Using the Toyota Hybrid from the RAV4 with the elegance and beauty of Mazda design.

The non-hybrid version of the CX-50 is rated for quite good fuel economy. I encourage you to do the math on your own and check my results: it is unlikely that a buyer would ever save money by getting the hybrid option considering that they will likely keep it for no more than 7 years and that the non-hybrid will have larger discounts than the hybrid.
