A professor of mine was actually calculating the "savings" of a hybrid the other day during a tangent he took in class. It ends up costing you about the same as a regular car. Sure, over the course of five years or so (if you drive an extremely high amount of miles per year) you'd end up saving a couple thousand dollars, but the thing is the battery needs to be replaced every five years or so, and costs just about as much as the money you'd save on gas. If you want to save the environment, go ahead and get a hybrid. If you want to save money, don't bother.

I vote hydrogen, thing is though then you'd be spending more money on electricity if you have one of the hydrogen stations you plug into your wall at home. Or you'd probably be spending a fuckton buying hydrogen at a station (which only exist in SoCal at the moment.)
