If you were buying a car, would you buy a hybrid car or a standard gasoline powered car?

1. Given the choice, I would buy a diesel powered car since they get better mileage than gas powered ones, have better power and are more feasible for trips over 100 miles, like a hybrid. If you just want to reduce your "carbon footprint", just quit exhaling for a day.
2. if everybody tomorrow stopped driving in about 50 years or so the carbon footprint from usa would be reduced by 1%/ china and india are huge populations and are Still building coal fired locomotives and coal fired electric power stations/soooooo all you people that want to stop exhaling and not driving better realize you are victims of the state run liberal media/its all bull pappy/one volcano like the one in iceland burps and its all over for y our carbon footprint time
3. Normal gas powered car. I'm not paying several thousand more for an uglier car that only gets better mileage in stop and go traffic. The savings from not buying a hybrid would buy several years worth of gas. I do most of my driving on highways where a hybrid is just a regular car with a very expensive unused battery weighing it down.
4. I would buy the standard gas powered car. Then I wouldn't have to be concerned with it breaking down and not being able to a mechanic. Any of the hybrids are several thousand dollars more anyway, I can buy a lot of gas for that much. I also rather like my carbon footprint being what it is, let the greenies worry about theirs.......
