In a recent article, OmniNerd number-crunched over a few all-nighters in order to see if hybrid vehicles in their current state and at their current price are a steal or not.

Their summary, as we have discussed in the past, gas-electric hybrids are the most fuel-efficient passenger cars on the road and ecologically there isn’t a more viable option. But until something big changes, the industry-high efficiency can’t economically offset the steep sticker price.

Check out all the crazy charts and graphs here. It’s pretty compelling and thorough stuff - taking into account mileage, car loan payments, performance, maintenance, value retention and a whole lot more. Thanks OmniNerd.
