With gas deposit of over $ 4 per gallon and will continue to rise, more consumers are looking for hybrid cars for a short term solution to the rising costs of getting from A to B. The old excuses of hybrid cars as "too expensive" and the idea that the hybrid premium was a deterrent effect, simply no longer apply.
It is now possible to revert to the 2k hybrid 3k premium in a shorter time frame than previously possible. For example, at $ 3 per gallon might be expected that approximately 20 miles on the way. Now, travel the same route costs $ 4 Calculation that a motorist is an average of 50 miles per day he or she will now pay $ 10 per day for gas, as against $ 7.50 when he 3 $ per gallon.
Multiply with a year amounts to about $ 2700, on fuel consumption costs at $ 3 per gallon. But that is now costing $ 3600 at the current $ 4 per gallon. In other words, every $ 1 increase in one gallons of gas costs the average consumer an additional $ 900 per year in fuel costs alone.
If the same motorist was driving a hybrid cars (eg A Prius), and average 40 mpg (more possible), they now pay $ 5 per day for gas. Your annual fuel cost is now amounting to about $ 1800, an approximate savings of $ 1800. If the hybrid premium is about $ 2000, after tax breaks, we are now in about one year to recoup the additional investment for the hybrid cars. Add in savings in the parking lot, (in some areas are free parking for hybrids), lower motor vehicle taxes, tolls and insurance costs, and it is feasible to the premium in less than a year.
Add in the expected continuing rise in gas prices and it would be possible to the hybrid premium in less than one year.
With more hybrids always available, and with gas prices likely to continue rising, let the hybrids fly out of the car lot.
