Rip Off
Yeah, I forgot my login to OmniNerd but I just wanted to highlight how much of a rip off hybrids are as they are priced right now. The Civic hybrid for example costs $19,600 whereas the normal one costs 13 or 14 grand.
Normal civics gets about 37 mpg and the hybrids can get upwards of 50. On the average of 1000 miles driven a month thats 20 gallons in the hybrid and 28 in the normal car.
Even at $3/gallon that is only 24 bucks saved a month, $288 a year.
So for a $5000 price difference you save 250 bucks a year? Great in 17-18 years you will have broke even on your investment.
I just think they should be priced more reasonably.
