Hybrids don't save money.

Tell that to every single cabbie in Vancouver. They say that the hybrids pay for themselves after 3 years. Of course, they drive their cars alot. Another point to note is that most cabbies I've talked to say the maintenance on a hybrid is way less compared to a normal cab. One guy said he's owned a hybrid for two years and he's spent about $500 total on maintenance. Prior to that he had a Malibu and he was spending $500 every two months on maintenance.
It goes to show that the economics of owning a hybrid are not universal. It depends on your driving habits.
