I don't think you are doing the tax deductions right. Usually, when something is a tax deduction it doesn't take that amount of your taxes.
For example: you make 20,000... the tax deduction on the hybrid is $2400. So you take 20,000 - 2400 and you get 17,600. So instead of paying taxes on 20,000 you only pay it on 17,600. I guarantee this is not going to come out to $2400 in savings.
