Would you consider: Alternatively Powered Vehicles

AFAIK, hybrid-electrics may cost something like 200-300 thousand more.

Actually its possible to see such an gas-electric hybrid costing just 100K more for a typical automatic tranny car. Especially if you consider it will be using a small gas engine (lower tax bracket), clean emissions and very high fuel milage car (tax break).

That's what I'm hoping. :D

Given the recent increases on fuel prices...

Do you think the big car companies should introduce hybrid cars (gas-electric or diesel electric, etc) into the local market?

Example of hybrid cars already available in the US market:
Toyota Prius (gas-electric)
Honda Civic (gas-electric)
Honda CRV (gas-electric)

I am seriously considering using Waste Vegetable Oil(WVO) for my diesel ride. Nasa research and planning stage ako.

I'll opt for the Hybrid Escape.

If I could afford one, I'd get one. I do hope they offer tax breaks to companies or individuals who purchase these. Maybe instead of providing government officials with a high end ford expedition give them a prius or something similar.

With rising fuel prices why not? It might be more expensive but I want to contribute in preserving our environment.

I was thinking that since a typical hybrid car would have a smaller gasoline engine than its "normal" version, it should be placed in a lower tax bracket, giving it an edge in terms of pricing.

Imagine, if you normally get 8km/L in your 1.6 liter engined car now, a hybrid equivalent would get you at least twice more milage in city driving.
