If you drive a lot, say using more than 2-3 tanks per week, nevermind a tank per day, yes....over the long run they might help.
But come on, if all you're doing is driving to work every morning and back home, equally say 20-30km per day, well there are a lot of fuel efficient cars out there that get 30-50mpg that you can buy and they're a hell of a lot cheaper than the hybrid.
That being said, I would seriously consider a hybrid if I traveled a lot. Sure it costs extra, and sure it has been harder to replace parts in the past, but that will all get better.
Especially when you talk about SUVs.
