If this is purely about saving money, a hybrid may not be the way to go. Of course, it may be with as many miles as stevey_frac puts on though. You have to run the numbers to find out. Just remember to throw all the numbers into the equation. You need insurance, maintenance, etc. Also, keep in mind that not everyone's main motivation is money.
