It would probably help if hybrids, like the Prius, weren’t marketed based on ‘interminable smugness’ being a big selling point.

At best, I think that today’s hybrids are only intermediate step. At worse, a big waste of money on a ‘feel good’ proposition. I think that there are other alternative fuel methods that would be better in the long run.

And I agree with the poster who suggested additional tax breaks for hybrid owners. The more of those vehicles that we have on the roads the better, since that way we’ll hit a critical mass quicker, thus bringing down prices.

If high gas prices weren’t enough, people who recycle vegetable oil to use in their diesel vehicles are now being sought out to pay taxes on that fuel. So while alternative fuels may be cheaper and environmentally friendly the government wants more money from you.

THE + IRS = theirs

One thing I would like to see changed is the fact that I could not get any kind of tax break for buying a USED hybrid vehicle. Only the original owner receives one. I feel anyone using a hybrid, new or used, should get a tax break just for keeping the car on the road and not buying a gas guzzler!
