Paying 25% less in fuel costs isn't an incentive?
A tax benefit provided by many states for people buying a hybrid is not an incentive?
Did the large increase in demand for hybrids coincidentally coincide exactly with a massive increase in gas prices, and then demand decrease as prices at the pump decreased?
Let's not forget that while we may not see $4 at the pump this summer, when inflation skyrockets over the next year or two and the price of oil climbs ridiculously again, $5/gallon will become a very real possibility.
Seems like you're the one that doesn't understand.
