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.

I'm not sure where you're getting your mpg for hybrid cars (not hybrid SUVs), but my friend who has the Toyota Prius hybrid car gets 70 mpg, which is double what you'd get with a regular car. The hybrid SUVs get what a typical economy car would get that wasn't hybrid. Perhaps thats where the 25-28 mpg is coming from.
