completely. The premium you pay for a hybrid is rediculous. You prolly have to drive the car for 5years just for the premium you paid, pays for itself. Drivetrain sucks too

Of course me and my daughter are in that car primarily while my wife is in an M3 that's not due to explode anytime soon 
average gas price $2.30 with 135k mileage : $10350
base hybrid civic : $23,800 : 42.5 mpg
: $7305
difference : $ 8,145 : 12.5 mpg
:$3045
So you saved $3045, but paid a premium of $8145. Unless they can drop the price considerably on hybrids, I still don't see it as being worth it.... even the prius.
