LA Times 2006 Civic Hybrid Review
For the Civic-minded
Like other hybrids, this Honda makes you feel good by saving gas. But it looks cool too.

The reason hybrid cars are flying off dealers' lots is not because they make such a galvanizing financial brief. It's because people of goodwill, conservative and liberal, are growing weary of the moral calculus of gasoline. What people are learning is that private choices have public consequences. Sure, I'll make my money back, but the more important thing is the 643 gallons of liquid crack I will save. Now that's conservative.

Re: LA Times 2006 Civic Hybrid Review
Good Article. Finally glad to see someone do the math on recovering the inital investment. The only discrepancy I noticed was the statement
The 2006 EPA ratings released today listed the milage as N/A. I beleive the 50/50 mpg rating was actually Honda's estimate.
The EPA rates the 2006 Honda Civic hybrid at 50 miles per gallon city and 50 mpg highway. Honda's testing puts those numbers at more modest 47/49 mpg
