Actually, at last year's gas prices you would see an ROI after 3 years of driving a Prius. At a $4/gal mark, the ROI is available in 2 to 2 1/2. This is based on a typical 15,000 mile/month driver. If you don't want to spend 26K to 30K on a Prius, check out the Yaris. Not a hyrbid but some incredible gas mileage and the same reliability of a Camry but under 16K.

There are also the additional benefits of not having to waste time at a gas station and doing something good for the Earths. You also stick it to Big Oil and it's actually a sweet car. Civic Hybrid... not so much. I drove them both.
