Is a Hybrid Worth It?
OmniNerd offers an analysis of the economics of buying and operating an Hybrid from a purchase price, loan, and fuel expense only point of view. Hands down more economical to go with conventional. I do value the lower emissions of the hybrid, and the effect of pushing the technology envelope (and lowering costs with volume). I’m mostly trying to build an understanding of myth versus reality.
If you find this interesting, check out my post earlier on another article on overall energy cost (dust to dust) of hybrid vehicles.
