Thats the point. If your only going to keep it for 5 yrs then it wouldn't save you money before. But now they have changed their minds, and say that it will. But as gas prices go down, the advantage gets closer to 0 (or it will take longer to cover the extra price of the car).

The gas companies don't want hybrids to sell for obvious reasons.
