The thing is, when you reach the break even point in 10 years, thats
when the batteries need to be replaced at a price of what, about 12k?
Seems like a loose loose to me on those.

I disagree. The SUVs may be burning a lot of fuel but its our overall
consumption that counts and I see more "regular folks" around here driving
full size V8 powered trucks than "suit & tie executives" driving SUVs. For
that matter my Jeep Grand Cherokee (a SUV) gets 21 MPG on the highway while
my youngest Son's full size Dodge gets 18 MPG on the highway.
On another note, I don't understand the rush to buy hybrids. All of the
experts are saying that the payback for a hybrid vehicle is about 10 years.
This means that you reach the break even point in about 10 years. That's not
much incentive for me to buy one.
