All these anaylists and journalists bitchin' about whether or not hybrids really do save you a trip or two to the gas pump, or whether or not you actually recoup the savings during the lifetime of the vehicle and some even bitch about how diesels could get you the same MPG.
All fail to mention, perhaps because it's indisputable - hybrids put out 80 to 90 percent less emissions into our air. Doesn't that mean anything at all? Sure if the whole world drove hybrids, they would still continue to bitch about how it has little effect on gas efficiency meanwhile breathing cleaner air.
