Also not sure where you live but as you probably already know, cold weather and the hybirds don't mix well. I don't want to discourage you because there are other beneficial reasons to own a hybrid (the environment, performance, the look etc..), but I do not want you to be dissapointed with such a large investment when your FE expectations are not met or fall short.
I don't totally agree. While it is definetly true that the best mileage for a Hybrid is attained in warm weather, it is also true for regular cars. Indeed, all cares get their worse mileage in the colder months, but Hybrids still do better.
The rest of your advise is right on.
