With gas only you have an idea of how much your expenses will be.
I have always liked the idea or a hybrid but the idea of replacing a multi-thousand dollar battery is a total turn off as I always buy used vehicles and never have a car payment

Either you are a person that has an emergency fund for these types of expenses or you aren't. Someone that doesn't have money to replace a battery won't have money to replace a transmission or an engine, or the A/C. Expanding that out, they won't have the money for a new roof, furnace, stove, water heater , etc, etc. They will have to fund any of these normal costs of life with credit.
