Hybrids - its a tax thing not an mpg thing isn't it?

[numtumfutunch]

Hi

Im curious
What is the point of hybrid cars for a private user?

I ask as most magazines test them but generally dont give much away with respect to their fuel consumption which obviously has me smelling a rat

CAR recently put a new Lexus hybrid back to back with a 320d and didnt mention fuel costs at all but did spend quite a lot of typo on tax for company users, which is a shame as Id dearly love to know how they compare in the real world for me (not a business user)

Comments??
