If anyone seriously wants something other than a gas vehicle, a hybrid makes the most sense in all the different ways you’d practically compare.

Unless you mean a plug-in hybrid, forget it. I get about 40 MPG from my Priuses, close to 50 MPG on the highway. But they’re virtually unserviceable. A brake repair job costs $3,000. Which is too bad, because hybrids create a LOT less wear on the engines.

Now, with my fuel usage patterns, a PHEV (Plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle) would probably get me over 100 MPG, since I’d almost never need to go in gas mode.

Thanks, I’ll stick with 100% diesel or gasoline.
