I worked it up as a break even of 102307 miles by comparing a Civic Hybrid vs. a Civic EX (more comparable in trim, size, etc.) Both 5 speed. CVT is less efficient. (I had one of the Civic hybrids)


This assumes paying cash and does not factor in the tax credit (which would net you about 560 @ the 28% bracket. With the tax credit, the breakeven is about 75,000 miles.

I want to work one up with financing factored in, but don't have the time right now. Once I do, I will post my results.
