Interesting choice. I heard that the 400h Lexus actually had near the same gas mileage as it's fuel only counterpart the RX330 (in the 21-23 range from actual owners aside from the 67% increase it should have according to Lexus...odd.). However, emissions should be WAY better. Enjoy your ride...but one quick question, did you look at the X5 at all (avg. close to 20 mpg in 3.0 or 4.4 form)

Oddly Lexus, to spite their great build quality and fit & finish, has some of the lowest mpg hybrid vehicles on the market. I guess packing in all the luxury items and adding weight just doesn't work with electric motors. The first time I heard L was making a 400h, I thought it meant hydrogen and got all tingely inside
