Keep in mind that (as I understand it) hybrids use the gasoline engine to start after coming to a complete stop (like at traffic lights). You'll still need gas. Also, and I learned this when my Dad was looking at a hybrid, the electric "cell" or whatever will eventually wear out, necessitating a replacement. These can only be done by a licensed professional (re: at the dealership) and can run in excess of $7000. If you're comfortable with those to caveats, I say go for it. I'll need a new car here in the next 6-12 months, and with gas going up, I'm seriously going to have to consider a hybrid.
