From my understanding the hybrid gets its bang from city mileage. I am most interested in the SUV hybrids, but again if my understanding is correct then I may be better of just getting the standard SUV rather than the Hybrid model as I would not be gaining any benefit with all the Highway miles I drive. I may be persuaded to a non-SUV model if I could benefit from it with my existing commute.
Anyway, can anyone provide some insight on my dilemma?

You might start with the hybrid database and look for entries with longer trip times. I suspect those are the higher speed commutes. I'd also recommend looking at the Honda hybrid Civic. It has excellent high speed performance.
