Is the only difference the Hybrid part? Or are there any other differences such as safety?
I’m hoping to buy one soon and would really like to get a hybrid SUV to be eco-friendly but not sure I would save the $10,000 price difference between the hybrid & non-hybrid version in the long run.

Oddly enough, gas prices have trippled but the difference has remained about 10 cents, or 5% between the different grades of fuel. At some point, it may be cheaper to buy the better grade because of the increased mileage.

Hi,

I know you don’t want to buy a hybrid car to save gas money. I know it would take more than 10 years in some case to save the difference buying a hybrid vs. a gas car.

Okay, so I am willing to spend extra $8,500 to buy 2007 Honda Hybrid over 2007 Honda DX.

However …

My concern is how Honda makes their hybrid and is it really sustainable? I have heard that making a hybrid car, maintaining, and disposing of it is more environmentally damaging than a gas car?

Is there any websites or studies to show what is the difference in environmental impact of hybrid vs. gas car?

I like to see details including transportation of the materials, labors, logistic issues, and emission level to make one car.

Am I asking too much?
