The tax credit is a mix of how much fuel the car saves over 120,000 miles (Conservation credit) and it?s fuel economy as expressed by a percentage of the 2002 model year fuel economy for its weight class (Fuel Economy credit). The better a hybrid car does in these two computations, the larger the tax credit.

A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." -- Alexander Tyler

Thanks for the response I gather that is a one time Federal savings. I wonder if states offer anything further? :)

One time good time, this year only, or so they say. I have no idea what state does what. However, here in Va your State Income Tax is a % of your federal. Therefore, anything you do to reduce your federal tax bite automatically reduces your state bite. "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
