I bet the opportunity cost of sticking it to OPEC and these speculators is worth the premium.....unless they switch from sweet crude to material used in li-ion batteries.

MSRP on the 2009 Camry Hybrid is $25,350 (see link below), and at $4.00 a gallon it'll save you over $500 dollars a year vs a non-hybrid Camry.

When gas was $2.00 a gallon, Full-Hybrids didn't make much financial sense. With gas at $4.00 a gallon, and maybe $6.00 by labor day - they are making a lot of financial sense...
