"Hybrids, diesels and electrics cost more than their gasoline-engine counterparts, but you may be able to save money over the long-term with better fuel economy. Compare the five-year ownership cost of green vehicles and their conventional equivalents (or any vehicle in the second drop-down menu) to see if you'll save money buying a green car. Then, since the vehicles you're comparing may take regular, premium or diesel fuel, input the price of fuel for each vehicle (our five-year calculations add 3.5% to fuel costs every year for inflation).
