Given the way gas prices are going...

[mrrman]

I am sort of leaning this way now once the technology improves a bit more. Apparently gas is going up further.

 

[mrSHEiK124]

No, considering I don't have a car or its gas to worry about in the first place.

 

[Smartazz]

nope.

 

[Akhen]

bike ?

 

[mundane]

Panic-hyping media FTW!

 

[JLGatsby]

No. Quit being so cheap. So you pay 5 or 10 bucks extra at the pump. Boo hoo.

 

[Compton]

The cost of buying the car for pay for years of gasoline.

No, since I don't have the money for a new car and I'm going to be in college in 5 months, so it isn't a big deal.

 

[Ika]

wait for fuel cells

 

[KillerCharlie]

I'm pretty sure the money saved from using less gas didn't outweight the extra cost of a hybrid. Does anyone know at what fuel price the extra cost of a hybrid will make it worth buying?

 

[Random Variable]

No, because I already drive a hybrid.

I did the math in a thread many moons ago. And got flamed for it. But the Hybrid becomes worthwhile during a 4-year lifespan (assuming most people get a new car every 4 years) at about the $10 price point.

 

[Aztech]

No, because they cost too much. But I am considering trading my Mazda Tribute for a Mazda3.

 

[SaturnX]

I'd go diesel before going hybrid. The technology is too new for my liking.

 

[Taggart]

polllllll

My previous car had a MSRP of over $30,000 and averaged about 17 MPG. The car I drive now had a MSRP of under $22,000 and averages between 50 and 60 MPG (59 MPG at the moment).

 

[Kalvin00]

considering a car or motorcycle, partially because of gas prices. dont know if i can afford a car though.

 

[NTB]

No, because it wouldn't do me a whole lot of good. Hybrids depend on a lot of stop-and-go traffic to get that excellent gas mileage. I don't live in a big city, and where I do live, the traffic is rarely very bad. I also do quite a bit of highway driving, especially durring the summer. So the savings on gas probably wouldn't be all that great.

This is, of course, on top of the already-mentioned reasons in the thread

Just an FYI sales were down majorly in March. 22% for the Prius

 

[scottish144]

Hells yeah. And although the super gas mileage needs stop and go, my cousin's still gets better MPG on teh highway. High 30s I think.

 

[MercenaryForHire]

Sure, why not?

I'll buy the new Dodge Charger Hybrid.

It burns gas and rubber.
