Although many claim they will buy HY's to "do the right thing" and be politically GREEN and it is fashionable perhaps, or is it?
Being fashionably ignorant perhaps.
Truth is they buy them to save fuel. Not all will admit this. Who's kidding who?
If I can't afford to feed my growing family because of late I am spending 30% of my usable income on gasoline that's $3.40/gal going up to $4.00/gal soon, do I really care about the ozone. I think feeding my family comes first. And, the Gov't fooled us thinking Hybrid will save us. What BS.
With fuel prices today...Who really cares about ozone. The gov't doesn't care about fuel prices or CO2 emissions.
So to pay a premium on a car that will supposedly do
what the gov't won't do is a joke.
The Gov't won't solve the Fuel price issues that
They Caused and they could care less about the Ozone. They spin the subject around and around, because it sounds like a benevolent issue.
MPG estimates were
30% off admits the Feds!! But it sure hyped up these hybrids. Great for Toyota a few years ago. Toyota being a Major Hybrid Lobbyist for special interests. It's own interests!
Check out the more realistic MPG ratings on the Hybrid 08's now. These Hybrids don't look too attractive , do they?
Now the dealers have tons of them in stock desperate to negotiate and blow out the door.
They are NOT truly GREEN. and, They are NOT great alternatives to other Non hybrid economy cars out there.
The Important Data is starting to trickle in on these hybrids, the Hype is over.
I am not down playing any Hybrid owner. To own one is a personal call. Maybe one just likes the way a Prius looks?
I merely say that the Gov't and Toyota have fooled the majority of hybrid owners.
These Hybrids are throw away vehicles at around 100K miles.
What a snow job. Like selling ice to the Eskimos. Toyota was slick. And the Gov't offered tax incentives to offset the extreme hight price of these Hybrids. Where is the Tax incentive now?
