What is the point of the hybrid? I understand it allows changes to be made at some point if gasoline becomes extinct, or moves beyond 10% ethanol, which is the same thing.
This will help: The hybrid versions of the Camry and Fusion cars should average 10-15 MPG over the standard engine version. That means 38 MPG instead of 25 MPG.
Should gas shoot up, that sort of economy makes sense, but when gas is cheap, people won't typically pay a premium for the future money savings.
Buying a used hybrid now could make sense, if we thought gas could edge back up. Someone else took the hit on the depreciation, while the batteries appear to last 15+ years, in practice.
