I’m doing a speech on hybrid cars (for speech class) but all research points to not buying a hybrid card?

tomg asked:


I’m doing a persuasive speech to influence people to buy hybrid cars (it’s for college speech class). I’m focusing on the financial benefits (i.e. savings on gas) but reports from consumer protection and Newsweek indicate that the savings on gas with a hybrid are not enough to consider buying one.

The research says that after maintanence costs, insurance, the extra premium to buy hybrids, and so forth that the savings on gas do not add up. It only says that you should buy if you are environmentally conscious and that’s not what I’m focuing my speech on.

HELP.

Need sources and articles that say otherwise. Didn’t the price of hybrids fall??
