Hybridgruven

Started doing some back of the checkbook math on our cars. We own a pair of Honda Civic Hybrids, one since 2003, the other since 2005. When we bought it we were warned by many that it would take a decade for the gas savings to cover the "hybrid premium". (Now, good as gas savings are, we also bought the cars because I'm a SF geek and I found the tech in them fascinating and wanted to support it, so this argument obviously did not sway us). Given the price of gas over the last few years, I'm happy to say this wasn't the case.
