$1.66 gas to fuel hybrid bargains

Happy days for hybrid shoppers

Hybrid sales were down 50 percent in November, and they will probably be about the same in December. Likewise, gasoline prices are now averaging $1.66 per gallon. So, aside from economic problems, one can only assume gas prices are significantly contributing to the hybrid sales slide.

Yet, 2009 will see a number of new hybrid cars hitting the road, such as the Honda Insight and the third generation Toyota Prius. Hence, supply glut seems inevitable.

For shoppers of hybrid cars, happy days are coming.
