    I'm getting a car this summer -- possibly a 2003 Honda Civic hybrid. That should help alleviate my costs for gasoline.
    It will cost you 10 years to recouperate the price premium in gas savings @ $2/gallon over a regular Civic.

        Critics point out that after paying the extra cash for one, say a $2,500 premium for a hybrid Civic, it will take about a decade to recoup that amount at the pump (at 15,000 miles a year and with gas at $2 per gal.). They claim that if fuel economy becomes an even more important consideration, there are already plenty of fuel-efficient cars and smaller SUVs that are less complex and easier to fix than hybrids.

              I think Americans who own a hybrid get a $1,000 tax break??

                Well, you see, in Israel, a new car costs 30-40k USD due to taxation, so it's a bit different over here.

                        VW Golf GTIs get 39.2 mpg city & 64.2 highway.

                        But those are diesel.

                          Get a VW Jetta TDI. Diesel isn't always the easiest to find, but man those cars get amazing milage. They managed to fix most of the annoying bugs associated with diesel too - although they still have noticably less power than they're gas counterparts (not nearly as bad as it used to be, though).

                            I think I prefer a non-hybrid car that is not diesel that can get higher miles per gallon.

                              Mazda 3s get 35mpg highway, 28mpg city.

                              It's great.
