base w/o hybrid $64,755 base w/ hybrid $75,685 Thats a $10,930 price dif lets do the math 1gal of gas avg $2.50 fuel to drive 20miles = $2.50 Tank size = 26 gal if you drive 15000 miles/year @ $2.50 a galon annual fuel cost will be $1875 a year if you keep the car 5 years fuel cost will average $9375. How much are you really saving buying a Cadillac hybrid? The $10,930 price difference you'r paying for the hybrid will cover the fuel cost for 5years if you buy w/o the hybrid

Too bad the hybrid isn't available on the ESV. The Escalade ESV has a fuel tank of around 31 gallons. I really believe they should hybrid that model.

It's all relative. 21MPG is a joke and no one's ever going to hang onto there Escalade long enough to see the rewards of a hybrid... IT's stupid.

@bkeastny $2.50 for gas? Well that was then, and this is now. We're talking about 4.50-5.00 for a gal. You do the math
