>>Actually, I am pleasantly surprised that it is so high on the list since i bought it originally not to be 'green' but for the gas mileage and zip - plus Saturn service is fantastic.

>>>>You are correct. There was an article about it in US World and News Report about a year ago. They clearly showed that the prices for hybrid cars should come down, way down, to make the overall cost of owning less. I think hybrid cars are for rich people to make them feel good, as if they are helping the environment <g>.
