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...

Hybrids are not all that clean either. The actual process of driving is cleaner in a hybrid, but there are hybrid engines that actually polute just as much if not more than a regular gas engine. This has more to do with filling the fuel cells. In the conversion, there are polutants escaping.
I think that it is more of an issue with the hydrogen engines than the current cell engines, but they are considered "cleaner" becuase they have little to no emissions at the exhaust pipe.
