It would be more meaningful if one could put in their percentage of highway
and city type driving into the calculation and the respective mileages for
both vehicles.

As an example, I usually drive 10K miles per year, with about 70% highway.
My current vehicle (2004 EXL V6) gets 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, while
hybrids get lower mileage highway then they do city driving conditions.
