if your driving is mostly highway a hybrid isn't any better than a fuel efficient gas motor, a buddy I work with has a plug in hybrid and in town it is phenomenal , but commuting to work and back he just gets slightly better milage than I do, were talking about 1/2 a MPG better than I get, but he paid 10K more for the "Hybrid" version of our car, so now we are back to the "is it worth 10K to get 1/2MPG better? "

Hybrid =/= Plug In Hybrid (PIH)
There is a fundamental difference. If he's got an PIH and only getting 1/2 MPG better commuting, he either has a several hundred mile commute or he is using it wrong.
Also, hybrids don't cost $10k more. In fact, they are now often the same or cheaper.
