From what I have seen and heard, they really don't get that much better
mileage that there gas counterparts. They talk more about how your helping
the environment on emissions that saving gas or you money. Plus like has
been said, they cost more, so are you really saving money? For me, I just
try and make all my trips in a organized fashion. Also to me it seems like
these hybrids should be getting better mileage than they do, I seem to
remember the Geo Metro getting like almost 50 mpg. and now I hear them
bragging about 32 or 34 mpg! to me it seems like they lost something
somewhere. Sorry for the rant.

What scares me is the repair cost for that technology. You might check
out what the long term maintenance costs are (rebuild, batteries, electric
motor).

What's up with that Ford Fusion? I heard that Ford had terrible problems
with their new mid-engine GT and had to buy a whole bunch of them back
because they were so screwed up. Of course mentioning a Fusion and a GT as
a
segue is bizarre, but so be it. We try not to use the F word around here.
