Somewhere in the Middle
Complicatated Situation, oversimplified below...
I think that this market share is going to buy the SUV regardless. The fact that Hybrids are available in this segment helps with FE (albeit slightly number-wise, but larger percentage-wise, with less fuel consumed overall).
They still get crummy mileage. If someone is serious about FE over other concerns (unwarranted, or otherwise), then they'll choose something smaller, more efficient.
Lastly, it educates folks about hybrids, which is a good thing.
