I don't have one, but if you look at the price for the model (it's very well equipped even before the cost of the hybrid) and look at the EPA mileage which is identical to the V6, (19/25), you won't be able to justify the expense on savings. I get 25-26 on trips with our V6, 22-23 local. The hybrid supposedly does have very good performance, however. It probably gives you more opportunity to save in city conditions if you drive to absolutely maximize the economy and use the electric component. My dealer gets one a month, usually spoken for, so there is little need to discount them, but the gas models are discounted.
