All you have to do is to figure the cost of the both vehicles the way you want them decked out. Calculate the cost of the Hybrid MPG and the number of miles you drive in a year. Do the same with the price of the non Hybrid. Next using the cost of fuel today calculate the gallons used in a year and the per gallon.
The difference in the cost between vehicles is important.
Divide out how long you will have to own the Hybrid until you pay the increased cost and get a return on your investment.
I had a Camray Hybrid in 2018. The time fore me was about 7 years to realize a rate of return.
