Our newspaper a while back (around the start of the summer) talked about "regular" cars vs. Hybrid cars. The study they did/showed said that hybrid cars aren't actually that cost affective. First of all, they are more expensive to buy. And second, they don't get a lot of miles per gallon (most range from 25-28 mpg). But like...my nissan sentra, gets around 30-33 mpg. When gas is so high, those 2-5 mpg less that you get from a hybrid does make a difference.
