Consumer Reports and hybrid car costs

Civic and Prius hybrids DO save money

If you read the Consumer Reports Best and Worst Cars of 2006 issue, then you know that Consumer Reports reported that in the short term - 5 years - not one hybrid saves money compared to their conventional counterparts.

Well, CR has admitted that it made a mistake and that the Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic hybrid actually do save money, $406 and $317 (more).

So, some hybrid cars actually do save money!
