You will probably get plenty of responses telling you all the good information you seek. So I will just add a few other observations:

- You will enjoy the relative ease with with the hybrid accelerates; the engine does not seem to have to work hard at all.

- You will enjoy the smooth quiet ride of the hybrid, because it can be geared so low due to the electric motor assist.

- You will enjoy knowing that you are contributing to an advanced technology which will hopefully relieve somewhat our energy requirements for the future.

Those are some of the reasons that for me personally, in 30+ years of owning automobiles, this is far and away my favorite.
