So I know that in the past the government would give some sort of a $$$ break for people who bought hybrid cars since they polluted the environment less but I heard through the grapevine that they might stop doing that and actually have hybrid drivers pay a $$$ penalty since they will be forking less towards the government's gas tax. Can anyone defend or refute this rumor I heard cause I'd like to know before I'm in the market to get a new car in a year or so.

I'm paraphrasing what was in last week's Kiplinger Letter. Wait until 2006 to buy a hybrid car. The existing $2000 deduction will become a big credit after 05. The credit for a Prius will be around $2,750. BUT, don't wait too long as the credit phases out after a manufacturer sells 60,000 hybrids, which I am sure will happen quickly if gas prices stay at this level.

My Galant gets 27 mpg, and I am really glad I bought a car rather than a truck or SUV. Filled it all the way up from E for $32 yesterday. My dad just got a new F-150 at the beginning of the summer and he is now looking to get a car to do most of his driving in. I think he would save over $200 a month just getting my 27 mpg. He has to drive 86 miles to and from work every day. Freaking nuts. Only problem is 6'5" guys have a hard time fitting in small cars.
