Here are the numbers:

The later plug-in hybrid Cayenne is the model I'd consider, maybe. 14 miles electric range means it would be running on battery for half or more of our daily usage, if we plugged it in every time it is in the driveway. I would probably remember to do that. My wife probably wouldn't. So for me, the plug-in hybrid wouldn't be terribly expensive to run - until our gas is $5+ which is probably going to happen in the next few years.

But the later models haven't depreciated enough to make them interesting.
