Hybrid and electric cars have gained in popularity in
the last decade as a consequence of high gas prices. But their
great gas mileages often come with higher car prices. There may be​
savings, but how much and how long before those savings are​
realized?
     Suppose you are considering buying a​ ­Toyota Prius,​ ­which
starts around​ $25,000 and gets 50 mpg. A similarly equipped Honda
Accord will run closer to​ $22,000 but will get 31 mpg. How long
would it take for the Prius to recoup the price difference with its
lower fuel​ costs, assuming you drive​ 1,000 miles per​
month?
    ​ First, use the following formula for gas​ savings, where GM
stands for gas​ mileage, to determine how far you will need to
drive to recoup the cost difference in the vehicles. Use the known
values and the average price of gas in your area to write a
specific equation. Determine the type of equation that​ results,
and then solve it algebraically.
$𝑠𝑎𝑣𝑒=$𝑔𝑎𝑠⋅𝐷𝑖𝑠tan𝑐𝑒⋅(1𝐺𝑀𝑛𝑜𝑤−1𝐺𝑀𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑)Choose a different hybrid
or electric car that gets high gas mileage and compare it in a
similar way to a​ gas-powered car in which you are interested that
gets lower gas mileage. How long will it take to recoup the price
difference for the miles you drive per​ month?
     Because of these​ results, it is reasonable to be concerned
that the benefits of a hybrid car might not outweigh the initial
higher cost. How efficient would the hybrid need to be in order to
recoup a​ $3,000 price difference within 10 years if the standard
vehicle gets 25​ mpg? Both the improved gas mileage and the
distance driven per year play a role.
     To analyze the​ situation, use Excel to determine the miles
that need to be driven to save​ $3,000 at various gas​ mileages,
from 26 mpg to as high as 100 mpg. Then convert each number of
miles into a number of years by considering three possibilities for
the number of miles driven per year.
