I've never seen anybody figure it up, but considering the extra expense of hybrids, a lot of them may not save enough in fuel to break even.

we figured it up in env. ethics one time for a project... i dont remember the number, but our conclusion was basically that you were trying to help the env by buying a hybrid, not save money

dear people i understand the concept of a hybrid but... any time you convert energy from one form to another you loose efficiency so the only time you get a more efficient car from a hybrid is when you drive it just right to take advantage of the redistribution of power or lack their of.

She works there supporting PEO Soldier dealing with night vision, scopes, lasers, and laser designation devices.

Her specific area is dealing with lasers.....her office is on the main drag about 3 blocks from the VRE station.
