From www.fueleconomy.gov:

combined - vehicle
21 - Tahoe hybrid
14 - Tahoe gas, 6.2L

7 - difference in MPG

7/14 = 50% better mileage

So let us say you are importing 'guest workers' and need 8 seats for 15 guests. With the regular Tahoe, it would cost $3,470 per year for 15,000 miles. The hybrid Tahoe would only cost $2,142 per year. You'll be ahead $1,328 each year but there is more to save.

With the longer range, you can do more of the trips using inexpensive, Mexican gasoline. This allows dropping off the 'guests' much further North of the border and picking them up further south.
