I am speaking specifically on the 5.7L which is "RATED" at 14/18. 20MPG would be a 42% increase in fuel economy in city driving which is where hybrids are supposed to shine. 25MPG would a 78% increase.
Don't get me wrong, if they come out with hybrid that gets 25MPG (city OR hwy), I would trade in my 07 tomorrow. Assuming 15,000 annual miles and gas prices of $3/gallon I would save $4000 in ONE year. That is a no brainer.
