Now a new study has even dispelled the one argument against purchasing a hybrid car, itâ ™s cost. Los Angeles-based Intellichoice.com now has reported hybrids save you money over gas cars. On average, sedans of similar size to the Prius cost motorists an average of $33,305 over the first five years of ownership, compared to the hybrid Prius $19,897. This more than justifies the additional $1000-$5000 hybrid cars typically cost. Not to mention the thousands saved in fuel costs and the many state rebate programs !

Sure the 90â ™s were good for sales, but watching your own self destruction for 10 years should be a wake up call. Whoâ ™s running Ford and GM, Ripp Van Winkle?
