I ban you because I have a big math assignment due tomorrow where I have to compare the cost-effectiveness of a regular car and its hybrid counterpart. It took 1,001,500 miles driven (assuming that gas was $2.05 per gallon) until the hybrid finally became cost-effective. To put that in perspective, the average American drives 13,476 miles every year. Divide 1,001,500 by 13,476 and you get 74. That's 74 freaking years until the hybrid costs less.
