The Cost Of Moving To A Hybrid Vehicle From Traditional Gas Powered

Doing some math between how much I drive a year and what the delta would be between what I get now for mileage(not great) to what I would get for mileage per gallon, the cost of fuel, say 4.65 a gallon. And the up front cash to trade old vehicle and replace it with a hybrid. The projected point at which I would cross the threshold of where the hybrid would start saving me money would be 8-15 years, median being 11.5 years.

Maybe need replaced and in 11 years…everything will be different. Like who knows what kind cars will be available. Full solar maybe..fusion…cool who knows. So what is the savings? Nothing really.
