Sure - the odds of an alternatives arising grow alongside the rise in gas prices.
At $3 a gallon a hybrid was still not a value over the life of the vehicle - as opposed to say, a gas Civic. In other words, over the life of the vehicle, the fuel savings would not cover the premium and maintainance for the hybrid. But at $6 a gallon - different equation.
Now buying the hybrid is a no-brainer. That's a big change over six months.
Next, electric and bio-fuel become viable alternatives. They are already out there, waiting for the equation to add up.
And at some point, it makes sense to cut your losses. Put a brick on the gas pedal of your F150, point it at the pier, slap that hog into gear, and blow a kiss at her.
