[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16043228, member: 166576"] The big consideration Id make when it comes to a hybrid purchase is can you afford the battery pack replacement out of pocket? Considering your commute looks to be mostly freeway, a smaller 4 cylinder non hybrid Fusion may be a better option. Most traditional hybrids and plug-ins are more efficient with more stop and go driving where it can use regenerative braking to recapture power. Cruising on the freeway youll occasionally get a mild assist from the hybrid unit if the car needs momentary torque, otherwise its mostly the gas engine doing the work. The next gen Lexus hybrid just launched and they get an average of about 44 miles per gallon mixed. But we are talking a major redesign of the cylinder head, VVT camshaft control with Atkinson cycle capability, 0w-16 engine oil and more efficient hybrid batteries. [/QUOTE]
