>>> They don't realize though, you pay a premium to buy a hybrid car and it will be 5-6 years before you break even. <<<

That is simply not true anymore. With gas prices as high as they are, and no permanent decline in sight, if one does a majority of their driving locally and achieves about double the mileage of a regular vehicle, it is well worth it.
And in five years no way will the vehicle be worthless.
