Well you have to consider TOC (total cost of ownership).
Is buying a big SUV at 0% financing a better deal than buying a hybrid at say 4.9%?

While you may pay more for gas with the SUV, I think overall it would be cheaper, becuase of the financing rate. How long would you have to own the hybrid to make it worth the higher fincancing rate?
Isn't there also the benefit of less pollution emitted by your car? Of course, that's a benefit everyone enjoys, not just the owner...
