In the Camry line, isn't the hybrid about 15% more efficent than the non-hybrd (using the EPA highway estimate of 33mpg and 38mpg respectively)? While not an astounding difference, that still seems significant to me. I wonder what the impact would be if you could instantly increase the efficiency of every car now on the road by 15%?
