I’m thinking about buying a new car. Is a hybrid car worth it?

aen935 asked: I’ve heard that you need to replace the battery in hybrids every 3 or 4 years, which defeat the purpose of saving money on the gas because they’re so expensive. I’ve tried looking this up online and I read anywhere from 3 to 9 years. I wouldn’t mind replacing it after 6 or 7 years, but 3 is unacceptable. Does anyone know a cheaper but quality hybrid car? I’m really liking the Honda Civic Hybrid, but I don’t know many others. Any suggestions and/or advice? Thanks!

Where can I find good information on the environmental impact of hybrid cars?

by Cars & Motorcycles
March 14th, 2009

To settle an argument with a friend, I’m trying to find some valid sources for showing the positive (and negative, I suppose) effects on the environment of hybrid cars. Most of the info I find is from hybrid car or manufacturing websites – which my friend will take as biased – or from websites that blast into hybrid cars as my friend is doing. I’m looking for something unbiased and researched (and preferably online because that’s the only way I’ll get my friend to read it). Thanks if you can point me to any good sources!

Do you guys think that the increased popularity of Hybrid cars plays a part in the incline of gas prices?

It seems kinda logical. Less demand for gas means less money for the gas company. In order to make more money, increase the gas prices might have been the answer for them.
