I saw the wsj.com did a story on the Camry Hybrid price gap to the gas verisons and they quoted a $6000 spread. I e-mailed author and suggested his numbers might be a bit off, he replied that he heard that from a bunch of others. He said he got it from Toyota's web site.
The Toyota web site lists some 4 cyls at a level that is $6000 below the hybrid, so it seemed safe to assume that this was the error in his logic.
As far as an apple to apple comparison, I called my dealer (an honest guy) and asked him what it would cost him the price differential for him to purchase a similarly configured hybrid, he replied ~$3,000 more (although with options and deals that gap could vary).
Thanks!
