Not only does a hybrid vehicle reduce the personal cost of driving, it can mean taking a big step toward conservationism and eco-friendly action. As Click and Clack have discussed on Car Talk, with a hybrid “you’ve got a bit of insurance against the chance that the price of gas will start going up again. And if gas does skyrocket, your savings will only increase. Finally, whatever happens, you’ll be doing your part to reduce pollution, minimize greenhouse gases, and reduce America’s oil consumption, for which we wholeheartedly applaud you.”
