Although the first one agreed with your's and Craig's POV, the second one showed that some hybrids were actually cheaper in the long run. They compared the same vehicle in both versions where possible, for example Honda Civic hybrid and gas (4 or 5 pairs of cars was the article), I will try to find it.
