John,
You do NOT have to ever buy a hybrid vehicle. You did NOT mention how far
you drive each day or how much you pay for gas each month. If you live
close to where you work, I don't think that anyone would advise you to buy
a hybrid vehicle since they cost much more then a non-hybrid vehicle. I
don't do much driving so I will never buy a hybrid vehicle due to the
cost. However, if I lived 50 miles from where I worked, I would buy a
hybrid vehicle and plug it in
every night since the price of gas is going higher and higher and higher.
