I'm looking into a new car, with the express intent of reducing the
cost per mile, so that my sixty miles of commuting a day will not
continue to eat my wallet.

I'd be interested in some of this current drop of hybrids, which use
batteries - except for one thing...

Batteries Suck.


I have heard that the batteries in these hybrids only last 6 years or so.
It costs $$$$ to replace the battery pack. The high cost of replacement
means that you will not save money by buying a hybrid.
Also, the high cost of replacement is well known to used car lot folks...
