I'm halfway between Feb-you-airy and Feb-roo-airy. I do make an attempt at the first R, but I won't try to say it again or something if it's still a Y-ish R.

If I'm reading it out loud, so the R is right there staring me in the face, then I might try for Feb-roo-airy. Otherwise, that R is gooooone. (Oh, right, or if I'm trying to remember how to spell it. Then I say it with the R in my head. Or "Febber-airy.")
