Not exactly worth the cost savings to me.

I think you're right. It is a neat perspective though.

No, even though the car appeals to me in a lot of ways, I could never get past that ugly digital speedometer that sits way up high in the middle!! So stupid.

unless you put a really high monetary value on saving the environment and lowering our dependency on fossil fuel a marginal amount.

Definately an interesting way to look at it, till next year or 08 when the EPA standards for gas mileage changes and hybrids gas mileage drops 20-30% of what they currently sticker at.

But for those people that buy SUV's and use more gas than they can afford and bought the car just cuz it was cool I think this is useful. Not that they'd care anyways.
My estimated savings were nearly the same as yours.

Only prob is Honda doesn't have a Hybrid suv, that may be a possitive for the Saturn Greenline Vue though or the likes..
Its a cool calculator, at least they have the balls to compare, but like most above the result is the hybrid doesn't cover the spread.

I think between you and I we have the highest mileage 2003 CL-S 6speeds, there might be someone else with the same. This would explain the similar cost savings.
