Can you guess? According to a study of 16 different hybrid automobiles, only one can claim to actually cost less to purchase and operate on its gasoline counterpart. For those of you thinking Prius, think again amigos.
What? It isn’t the Prius? The hybrid car most associated with the word hybrid? Shocker. It has historically been a complaint that there is essentially no payback for purchasing a hybrid car, that they are more expensive to buy and cost just as much in fuel. I mean, shouldn’t a hybrid return the initial cost of investment in fuel savings?
So which one can claim the opposite? Drumroll please. The 2010 Mercedes-Benz S 400 Hybrid gets that title. A Benz beat the quintessential Prius in this department? The Prius hybrid that sold over a million units? Heads will roll.
