To me, that would be a bigger savings than a typical commuter picking up a few mpg's per week.
Just my 2 cents.

Just like the retail side of things, though...that's going to be expensive...way expensive.
Our city has a hard-on about hybrid busses. IIRC, GM helped design the powertrain systems for them. Anyways...they're all over...they're clean, quiet and no doubt more fuel efficient than the 20 year old heaps I've seen around....But guess who picks up the bill for these things...
