Sorry Rush, some of us do like gasoline-electric hybrids. I have one - a 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned.

Rush, as do many others, does not decry an individual for opting for a hybrid even though he wouldn’t buy one. He, and many others, do decry the government sticking it’s nose in the automobile industry. This is his point. Let the free market decide if hybrids are manufactured or not.

I'll be happy to look at a hybrid when they save money as well as gas :)

Do you have to charge the battery? How and where?

That's because your gasoline-electric hybrid comes with two important words ahead of the label hybrid: Honda Accord.

What was the price increment for the hybrid over the just gas one?

Rush has always said he is NOT against gas-electric hybrids. If that's what people like, all power to them. He is against govt mandating what people should drive and also people buying them for the wrong reasons (ie 'saving the planet').

It’s not about how much gas you burn but the total cost of ownership over the life of the car:

I’m sure it’s a nice car, but TCO is the real metric when it comes to the cost of personal transportation.
