well, talking hybrids fuel economy 2-3L per 100 km compared to same size sedan. so tell me how many kilometers I have to put on hybrid - just to cover up 6 grand difference in price for hybrid. Plus to maintain hybrids( electrics) cost more than regular car.
BUT! driving lexus 600h - is fun! )) Now I have to win lottery to buy one))

Per edmunds, 4-6 years at 15k miles per year and 2.75 a gallon for fuel. Diesels pay for themselves in 1-3 years.Originally Posted by Dmitrikr

5years*15= 75k miles counting what? same price for fuel over 4-6years? No wear & tear on cars? Every one knows - battery getting old - discharges faster -needs to be recharged more often - more gas to use. gasoline engine - no wear and tear? SAME fuel consumption over 4-6 years?

That is assuming a constant fuel cost and mpg over the time period, and the recouping of the purchase price difference of the same model in a conventional gasoline model. It also did not include the depreciation cost, the insurance difference and so on. There just isn't enough usage data to go any further. I see where you are going with this, means more huge government sponsored facilities to recycle the fancy lithium hybrid battery packs. Instead of a tax credit on hybrids, they should have to pay a tax penalty for future recycling programs. LOL.
