"Without all the budget-busting extras, Ford notes that the Hybrid costs about $3,300 more than a comparable gasoline model, the 4-cylinder Fusion SEL. Consider not only the price but the economy, too. The gas-only Fusion also gets impressive mileage; the Fusion S’s 34 m.p.g. highway rating is just 2 m.p.g. less than the hybrid. Do you drive enough in the city to foresee a payoff from the hybrid’s higher urban mileage (41 m.p.g. vs. 23 for the gasoline 4-cylinder)?" At $3 plus a gallon, and mostly city driving, the hybrid, with an extra 18 mpg city, would pay it's extra cost down in fairly short order.
