The price difference will have to be narrowed tremendously to make it worth it strictly on gas savings. Here are the assumptions for the RLX hybrid and gas: annual mileage 12,000 and gas at $3.60 a gallon. The RLX with a combined 24 mpg's will cost you $1,800 a year in gas. The hybrid at a combined 30 mpg's will cost you $1,440 a year in gas. With the savings of $360 a year, it will take over 15 years to pay the difference in price. My point in mentioning this is hope Acura wakes up and lowers the price difference. The difference in a Lexus ES350 and ES 300H is $2,200.
