I get the same 20mpg in my Jeep, and 50 in my Prius.
Over a 200k lifetime, a Prius saves enough that that it will pay for itself even if you buy new. You can have a Jeep sitting and doing nothing but depreciating, and drive the Prius, and be financially equivalent to someone who owns a Jeep only.
Your fuel bill will be less than half.
Not sure I would bother going from 20mpg to 30 though. Get her a Prius. Hypermilers don't need hybrids, but for normal drivers they have bigger gains as they do most of the hypermiling for you.
