The thing with Hybrids though is that they are really only bennificial if driven in the city. Once you get out on the open road the savings really starts to reduce.
In Canada with our huge spaces between cities etc the cost savings of drving a hybrid is reduced greatly. Add in the extra cost for the Hybrid and it is not such a good deal.
No question the hybrid is a bridge technology and most of the companies will admit such. I just returned from Meeting as stuff at Mercedes in Germany and the technology that is coming down the pipe is pretty impressive. When it actually gets here is another question.
