Consumer Reports backtracks
Posted by David Roberts at 1:06 PM on 08 Mar 2006
Odograph will be happy to hear that Consumer Reports has admitted error: some hybrids save money after all.
Including fuel savings and tax credits, Consumer Reports said, the Toyota Prius hybrid would save about $400 over five years and the Honda Civic hybrid would save about $300 compared with conventionally powered models.
The magazine said it overestimated depreciation of the cars in arriving at its initial conclusion.
I guess the millions thousands tens zero people who were staying away from hybrids for this reason can now put them back on the shopping list.
