I knew I wouldn't make up the difference in price in gas savings, but my biggest worry is the cost of eventually replacing the batteries and what that might cost. Didn't know if anyone might have some experience with that aspect yet.

If it's anything like the other large hybrids it probably gets 2-3 more mpg. Emmisions would go down proportionally. To me it wouldn't be worth the extra cost and hassel of maintaining a more complex vehicle for so little benifit.
