I’d like to see the gas bills and mileage totals to shore that up.
Not challenging, but a savings of $400 a month implies a lot of driving.
Conservative hybrid driver here....
My Escape hybrid averages 37 mpg (calculated at the pump...every which way I can figure it..backing out all the hidden expense...I am saving about $150 a month in gas over the Ford Explorer it replaced...factor in the smaller car payment and I am saving $200 overall per month.
Like I said in another post, under the right financial and driving circumstances hybrids do make sense. All that does go out the window tho if the battery dies on me before I trade it in.
I have become a very green conservative only becuase it leaves more green in my wallet.
