THIS IS A RESPONSE TO SOME IGNORANT PERSON POSTING REASONS TO NOT BUY A HYBRID BASED ON THERE NOT BEING A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF SAVINGS, WHAT ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT? STEP UP TO THE PLATE FOLKS , OR OUR KIDS MIGHT NOT HAVE SUCH A GREEN PLACE TO LIVE . POSTING A GUIDE TELLING PEOPLE THAT 4,000 DOLLARS OVER 8 YEARS ISNT ALOT OF MONEY TO SAVE IS RIDICULOUS. WHEN IS IT NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT MONEY AND START CARING ABOUT OUR RESOURCES AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. ID SUGGEST ANYONE CONSIDERDING BUYING AN ALTERNATE FUEL VECHILE (HYBRID) TO SEE A SHOWING OF AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH AT A  LOCAL  THEATER, OR PICK UP THE BOOK. I PROMISE YOU , YOU WONT LOOK AT THE ERATH THE SAME WAY AGAIN. IM NO TREE HUGGING HIPPIE EITHER BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE A STAND ON THIS , ITS FOR REAL.
