I think (hope) I have another year left in my current car, but will be researching hybrids for my next purchase. Thank you for posting some good information! Readers might also find useful the tips I found at http://www.destroydebt.com/articles/76-ways-to-save-money-while-saving-the-environment.html.

I'd like to add that plug-in hybrids and electric cars will go even further to decrease any country's dependence on oil. Furthermore, even countries that export oil and gas like Norway are switching from these fuel sources for environmental regions. I have posts about Norway switching to wind power, Holland switching to wind power and electric cars, and Germany with huge solar and wind power programs already in place, at my blog. Hybrids and pure electric cars have been readily available in Europe for many years now, and are becoming readily available in India, etc. The main reason why hybrids are not available in the US in large numbers, let alone electric cars, is that Detroit and the oil companies have lobbied against them (see "who killed the electric car?" and learn that Detroit spent far more lobbying against electric cars than it spent on R&D for electric cars, even though it used that R&D for as much good PR as possible). All documented at my blog (greenchemistry.wordpress.com) with primary news sources. Thanks again for the great post. Jim Great article.

We do need to stop the dependancies as well as offer more incentive for people who do decide to purchase these vehicles, and not only on gas-electric cars but also on E85 cars (cars that run on 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). This is going to be a long process but with the help of the government and the continuation of research we will be able to improve our environment and our overall way of life.
