The Right Time
"Yeah, the upfront cost is definitely higher for a hybrid, but the fuel savings can really add up over time. I recently crunched the numbers for a typical commuter in the U. S. driving about 12,000 miles per year. With gas prices around $4 per gallon, the average gas-powered car gets 25 mpg and costs $2,400 per year to fuel.
Best Scenarios
When you use the Hybrid Vs Gas Cost Comparison, the comparable hybrid, on the other hand, gets 45 mpg and costs only $1,333 per year. That's a savings of over $1,000 annually!
