I am sure the hybrid version of the LS saves more gas.
19/27 for the 08 and 16/24 for the 07 long wheel base model, according to a NEW procedure estimate via the EPA web site. That's not a big jump. That being said, the 08 does give virtual V12 power from a V8 package -- too bad the hybrid system comes at a cost (which kills the performace gain) in the form of added weight. You also lose trunk space. For the price premium, the 460 is still a much better value.
