The Myth of the Hybrid?
Hybrid cars can mean fewer trips to the gas station. But the sticker price can siphon money from your wallet. Marketplace's Alisa Roth reports.
A Japanese newspaper reported this week that Honda is getting ready to release a hybrid version of its subcompact car. The company's not commenting. But if it's true, the news represents a growing trend: more and more car companies are coming out with hybrid models of their most popular cars-from sub-compacts to SUVs. The question, though, is should we care? Do hybrids save us enough in gas and emissions to make them worth the extra cost? (William Thomas Cain / Getty)
