YES Electrics and Hybrids are Better on Total Cost Basis
The Total cost of a gallon of gas is significantly higher than the pump price. Oil firms receive our tax dollars for: exploring, drilling, tool development, pumping, transporting, refining, and delivery to the retailer. In addition a huge part of the Defense Budget is for securing oil sources for the whole industrial world. Health costs due to bad air and water are likely $1 Trillion a year or more. Finally there is the incredible damage to our small atmosphere being used as a dump for CO2 which is now known and an urgent area for attention. A study was done in California ten years ago when gas was only $1.80/gal that said the actual cost of a gallon of gas was between $7 and $19. Today, with no alternative, we are being raped at over $4 per gallon. SO... are HYBRIDs and ELECTRICs cheaper than gas vehicles? YOU BET YOUR SWEET BIPPY THEY ARE !!!!
