Hybrid easily pencil out today and they are becoming cheaper and cheaper.

See the difference between an Accord Hybrid and Accord 1.5T below. Yes, that doesn't include investing the $1600 savings but you would need to make 25% on your investments to beat the gas savings from driving the hybrid vs the 1.5T.
