It seems to defy the laws of physics? Is there a standard to determine city driving mileage? Or is it up to each car maker?

I can not find out any information that compares the maintainence cost mile for mile of the different types of cars. I do not qualify for the tax rebate to purchase a hybrid. So am I saving money or not if I buy one?

The Honda Civic CNG has the smallest carbon footprint of any combustion engine. If this car was also a hybrid, you would kill three birds with one stone. First, oil dependence is gone and U.S. has abundant reserves of natural gas. Second, you would increase the range of the car dramatically and you would have a car that gets the greatest MPG of any other production car. Third, you would have such small carbon emissions that a new category would be needed to classify this vehicle. The only downside that I can see is a limited storage area. Am I missing something?

Does it completely offset the MPG savings in gasoline? Do you break even? Does it cost MORE in electricity?

I have no preference of maker. I am about to go to college, so the cost is very important. I know these cars are not cheap, because they are still relatively new in today’s market, but I would like to know their typical cost range?

Thanks.
