[quote=“Skurge,post:43,topic:39653"”]

if the people that buy hybrids, buy them to save money, your buying it for the wrong reason…but due to how they are marketing/advertising them, people think they would be cheaper/save them money

but what do i know, i drive a less than 20mpg 4-cyl lol

Have you noticed the evolution of hybrid commercials? When they first came out it was all about the MPG’s. Now it’s more about the “feel good” help the earth side of the arguement because their bogus mileage claims got blown out of the water by the new EPA testing routine.

You know, the “buy a hybrid so you can drop your daughter off in the artsy section of town without her being turned into an outcast” commercial.
