Could you explain your thinking for me? When shopping for a new vehicle we had budgeted $20K, not the $28K the FEH ran us. (We were looking at another station wagon, not an SUV when we first started out.) From the get-go we knew we'd never recoup the $8K difference, but we felt better realizing we were doing something to reduce our personal dependence on gas. Any tax break or financial assistance we can get will help make us appreciate even more the value of a hybrid vehicle.
