 I am shopping for a replacement for my 1986 Honda
Civic with 265000 clicks. Serious considering the
Toyota hybrid.

 At 90 cent a litre plus Canadians are paying a lot
more then our friends down south. An Imperial Litre 
is 4.5 gallons. That is over $4 per Gallon rounding
downward,hmmm....less a conversion rounded upward. 

  I estimate we are seeing $3.80US a gallon. In some
parts on the country more.

  I drove 40,000km last year and paid nearly
$3500 in gas(most of that is TAX.)

  If I cut gas by 50% that is $14,000 over 8 years
at today's prices. With current gas price curve
trends, likely break even in half that time. 

   Appears attractive at these gas prices, and at
such high mileage use.
