Are today's "hybrid car" really worth the investment?

As for new vehicles and disgusted with the prices gas, I wondered with the initial list price to be a little expensive, and look aestheic some boring, I'm really gaining anything with the purchase of a "hybrid"?

The amount of time it will take to recover the extra cost depends on the type and amount of driving you do, and the weather where you are. A hybrid save the most in stop and go city traffic. The reason for thinning is really closes Disconnect the gas engine while at a standstill, and only uses energy battery. On the road, saving gas is negligible. If you are running the air conditioner while in traffic, the gas keeps the engine running and many of you have been saving mileage there! Consider the type of riding you do, and calculate your gas savings against a conventional vehicle. For example: You driving 500 miles a week, 300 of those miles are in stop and go congestion. Suppose you get 20 MPG in a vehicle more onventional and MPG (30 MPG) with 10 a hybrid in stop and go traffic. With a hybrid of the 300 miles will burn 10 gallons of gasoline. A conventional vehicle will burn 15 gallons. Assuming $ 3.00 per gallon. The hybrid will save $ 15.00 per week or $ 780 per year ($ 15.00 x 52 weeks). Take the extra cost of hybrids, and are divided by the cost of fuel economy and that will tell you how long it will take to break even.
