Heres another calc, because Im bored

Say you want to keep a car for 8 years, and you drive 15 K a year.

You buy a new civic for 15 K, sell it 8 years later with 120K on it for at least 5K. You average 29 mpg, so you pay about 15K for all the gas you put into it. Total cost = 25K.

You buy a hybrid civic for 23K, sell it 8 years later for 3 K because that batteries are about to die. You average 42 mpg, so you pay 10K for all the gas. Total cost 30K

@93dx--hatch

^ your argument has no facts to back it up, its just you talking out of your ass. find me a 2000 hybrid for 3k?

even if you adjust those numbers and say that the used hybrid would go for 8k, its a break even, and at to be generous, 10k your only saving 2k over what? 8 years. Then factor in repair costs which are likely super high, and you cost of ownership is probably back to being a loss over a gas powered equivalent.
