Next Sunday, thank them and let them know you've done more study. In fact, opening your Bible, read Proverbs 21:20 "A desirable treasure and oil are in the home of the wise; but a foolish man swallows it up."

Then you might mention that there is some difference of opinion about the Consumer Report article since one of their sources, Vincentric, claims hybrid-electrics have a 16% lower cost of ownership compared to the gas-only 8% lower cost of ownership.
