In these times of economic crisis, we know how important every dollar is. Hybrid cars are revered as “green” vehicles, helping to fight global warming and protect our environment. While this is certainly important, our site is designed to help protect a different kind of “green” – your wallet. Our hybrid car cost calculator combines all relevant hybrid costs, including fuel economy savings, the “hybrid premium” – additional cost of purchase above a vehicle’s non-hybrid alternative, and government tax incentives available to hybrid vehicle buyers. Simply enter your personalized driving profile and pick a hybrid to compare to its gas-engine counterpart. The calculator provides background information on your selected hybrid, as well as estimates of your yearly fuel costs, available tax incentives, and the payback period to recover the “hybrid premium”.
