Remember zapping ants with a magnifying glass?

Hi atries,

You have to compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges.

A plain jane non hybrid of the same make and model is significantly cheaper, and mileage is often nearly identical, particularly at highway speeds. It takes a lot of miles before the fuel savings add up to the difference in price--and the math may show it never breaks even. A Phev may or may not be better.
