All
hybrid cars save people money according to Intellichoice

"Across
the board, we found that all 22 hybrid vehicles have a
better total cost of ownership over five years or 70,000
miles than the vehicles they directly compete
against," said James Bell, Intellichoice.com's
publisher.
"Hybrids are proving themselves to be an excellent
alternative for car buyers," Bell said. "Even
when factoring in the additional upfront costs for their
purchase, the long-term savings hybrids generate makes
them a sensible and attractive purchase."
While tax incentives probably make this fact true, mass
production of these vehicles would bring the costs down to
a point that tax incentives probably wouldn't be needed.
As a result as well, massive amounts of money would be
pumped into research and development for making hybrid
cars better. For example, hybrid battery technology
has the potential, by itself, to completely revolutionize
the automotive industry.
More important, as this study indicates, we can bring
costs down, fund R&D, and save money while doing it!
So, make your next vehicle purchase a hybrid vehicle. If
your favorite automaker doesn't make a hybrid, let them
know you want a hybrid.
