Hybrids Suck.pdf

I've wasted some time putting together a little chart. No matter what you value in a car performance, luggage capacity, towing capacity, total cost of ownership, or total environmental impact, there is ALWAYS a better choice then a hybrid (unless all you want to do is sit with the engine off and you can turn off your i.c. engine if you want).

It should also be noted that diesels routinely return better real world mileage then their EPA estimates suggest, unlike gasoline power vehicles and hybrids.

In short if you are a self righteous uneducated smug a-hole of a consumer and want to advertise it go ahead an buy a hybrid, you will be in the company of many great thinkers. Just look as the ass wipes who roll up to the award shows in those hideous piles of crap, and then take a chauffeured suburban or limo to their private jet while they "save the world"

Not worth it. Want to save gas...getting a gas sipper like a Yaris,Fit, Aveo is the way to go. They have about the same gas mileage and are less than half priced compared to the hybrids(Prius, Insight)

It’s funny how quickly facts will silence people who are wrong.
