I just paid $8,000 for my hybrid, a low mileage Civic in great shape. Don't really feel like I got hosed. And even if all the money I save on fuel ends up getting cancelled out by having to replace the battery someday, guess what? I just kept XXXX pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere at no additional cost to myself. Or have we forgotten that there are multiple reasons to hypermile?
