My money would be on the extra weight the hybrid system adds to an already quite portly vehicle.

my best highway is 27.8 at about 80 MPH on flat ground for 328 miles. Normal around town in every type of driving about 22.

Just for grins, I compared fuel costs of my current LS430 (averaging 25 MPG overall on premium fuel) v. a Lincoln MKZ Hybrid (said to be able to average 40 MPG on regular by owners). Assuming fuel costs of $5/gal premium and $4.80/gal regular at 18K miles per year, I would save $120 a month. If I bought the MKZ at Z plan price and sold my LS at KBB private party price, it would take 56 months of fuel savings to pay for the change to a smaller, less powerful, less comfortable vehicle, with a tiny trunk.

OK, next mental exercise...

BT3100

Just took a 2200 mile round trip to Orlando from the Philly area. We averaged 23.2 MPG with Regular Fuel driving a constant 78 MPH where possible with our 02' 430. I wanted to use 94 octane on the return trip to measure the differance but I forgot
Good Mileage compared to my 94' LS 400 which struggled to deliver 20 MPG with 94..

2006 LS430-Round trip to Chicago with 1200 road miles; 500 suburban and just over 27 mpg on premium fuel. 70 mph on Interstate with the AC on the whole time. Not quite what I was getting with my former A6 Audi FWD V-6 but pretty darned good for a V-8 powered big ol' girl!
