When hybrids become more affordable, and less of a maintence issue I will look into it more.. my finance and I both drive trucks (hell we under snow most of the year, so we just about need them) They both get around 25mpg Hwy. Gas here is $1.05litre, disel is $0.899litre (at the moment anyway)
We looked at the escape hybrid, 30mpg hwy, battries can be a problem, $5000 more, not much better than I have right now... Oh, and it has a tow rating of about 800lbs.
Then we looked at the Jeep Liberty diesel, 30mpg, $3000 more than standard, and can tow 2500lbs (of the top of my head, but well over the Escape)
I have a boat, and with that I can tow it with no problem, with the hybrid, it is close to being overweight.
