Another thing most people don't consider with hybrids are the enviornmental impact of all those batteries! Creating and disposing of those monsters must create tons of toxic waste. I wonder how these things are cleaned up after an accident with gallons of acid spiiled everywhere. If it seeped into a bridge's metalwork, you're talking millions of dollars in repairs.
Those tax breaks can't be counted either. Those come out of your pocket one way or another...unless you think like a liberal and then its a free handout.
Hybrids are bunk IMHO.
