Yes I am. It would seem like a long payoff time to cover the increased cost of the hybrid option with a 5mpg difference. Honestly I thought that the 4 banger would do better on fuel on the highway driven the way he does. I'm sure its a pretty aerodynamic shape and Toyota did their homework with rolling resistance, etc. RT
