I dunno, you'll have to talk to a Toyota dealer. But the MPG difference should amount to 5 or 6 I believe in the city.

Personally I'd take a diesel powered Touareg over an RX400h any day.

my uncle just got the Lexus 400h…I test drove it an its nice, when you start it up its so quite that I didn’t even know if I turned it on or now. It has navi and a rear view camera when you back up. It’s a v6, but acts like a v8 under full throttle because of the battery and engine are both running. Very comfortable, but on the expensive side. Yet it gets really good gas mileage for a SUV.

Realistically speaking, you need to drive the hybrids for at least 5-6 years to make up the gas savings you think you might get relative to the premium ($5,000+) that hybrids are costing over their gas powered counterparts. Hybrids are more for people who want to be different, and want to feel like they are doing something for the environment.
