Or seen from another perspective, if you really want to reduce the
overall cost of car owner****p don't buy a hybrid at a substantial
premium.  Just buy a heavily discounted used SUV at a very low price.
Most of us are forgetting the single largest variable in car operating
expense:  Initial purchase price.

Or, if you are the owner of an SUV, just hold onto it...the operating
cost will be less than dumping it and buying a new hybrid.

As with the real estate brokers of 2 years ago, todays car dealers
love to see buyers making panic decisions.  They are laughing all the
way to the bank.
