You should work out the amount of money you would save on fuel on a weekly basis, and then compare this to the overall cost of the vehicle.  Quite a few people will not be able to justify the cost of the car on the savings they would make on the fuel.  Some people may take into consideration that the “bigger” picture is more important than the savings made by the fuel.  For some buyers of hybrid cars, the more important issue is fuel efficiency for the sake of the environment.  If you fall into this category, then the cash saving will not be an issue.

You should consider the cars sixe before you buy it also.  Fuel savings may be good, but at the end of the day, the car will still have to fit your family, luggage or shopping in it.  Make sure that you have enough room to accommodate all of your needs.
