So I was thinking today about how much you could save by getting a hybrid so I decided to do some math.

I compared the Honda Insight (with CVT cause it gets better mileage) with the Honda Civic HX with no options on either, (which I believe is a good comparison) and here is what I got.

Insight / Civic / difference

Price: $19,330 / $13,960 / $5370


Hwy mileage: 66 / 44 / 22


If you drove 300K
miles you would use: 4,545 gal / 6,818gal / 2,273gal


which would cost: $11,362 / $17,045 / $5,683
(at $2.50 per gal)


So in summary if you drive 300,000 miles you would save a whopping $313 dollars.

Looks like good a waste of money if you ask me.
