My original comment was more tongue in cheek, but I am confused, are you saying gas savings only count if you drive a small car?
I ran some numbers, based on 15000 miles driven per year, the average driver would save 138 Gallons of fuel driving a Civic hybrid vs a regular civic. The average Escalade driver would save 217 Gallons of fuel driving the hybrid version.
So there you have it folks, Escalade drivers who choose the hybrid version are doing more to save the environment then Civic owners who choose a hybrid!
