Hybrids are a joke. They are sold as the solution to the problem. They
only get that good mileage in stop and go traffic. Highway they get
worse. Factor in the higher cost, and when the batteries wear out, you
are way behind on what you would save in fuel. When the batteries do
need to be replaced, might as well throw away the car

My wife told me she really likes the Ford Escape Hybrid and may want to
sell/trade her Explorer to get one. I am a little leary of hybrid
technology while it is still so new. Does anyone know anything about
the reliability? Or the cost to replace the batteries when they will
inevitably need to be replaced. I read an article that talked about
the fact that with the cost of the batteries all the fuel savings is
gone. Any information would be great.
