I have a friend who has a Prius and he said it does make a big difference during local stop-and-go driving, but not much on the highway. My Toyota gets over 30mpg and it's not a hybrid. There are lots of non-hybrid cars out there now that get 30+ mpg.

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.
