>The price difference is $2,000, I think, which means at $2/gal, driving 15K miles per year, it will take 10 years before the hybrid pays for itself in terms of gas saved.

But, you're forgetting about the $2K tax rebate, which of course expires at the end of this year.

In my case, I drive 25-30K miles a year; I'd save like $1,000 every year already at current gas prices.

For you, it makes sense........for those who don't drive that much, it doesn't. And you know this Congress won't do squat to remedy the situation.

Its infuriating esp. when you realize you get a bigger tax savings on an SUV.
