The short answer is "Probably not." The long answer is "it depends." While it's not always possible to directly compare a hybrid model to a non-hybrid model (e.g. the Prius is a unique model), typical estimates of the price premium for a hybrid car is $2000 to $3000 versus a model of comparable size and features. If you drive your hybrid correctly, you will get higher fuel economy than with a comparable non-hybrid car. How long it takes for the savings in fuel purchases to make up for the higher initial costs depends on the price of gasoline, how many miles you drive, what kind of driving you do (the hybrid advantage is less under sustained highway speeds), etc.

i would think down the road the upfront costs will decline, then possibly they will save u money. i just don't see it now however, not with the markup a hybrid model has over a non-hybrid model.

NO, COST YOU MORE FOR THE CARS, AND THE COST TO KEEP IT GOING.

Have you checked on the replacement cost for one of their car batteries?

Hybrids save money if you do a lot of stop and go driving because every time you stop, the electric motor kicks in. Hybrids save little if any money on highway travel, especially interstates, because you are using the gasoline engine most of the time.

Hybrids are cheap compared with a $55,000 Cadillac Escalade. But if you compare them with their counterparts — economy cars — you could end up coughing up anywhere from 25% to 30% more at the dealership and not save much at the pump.
