also also - most hyrbids aren't that much more expensive to maintain for the sake of being a hybrid. the additional expense for most routine maintenance comes from things being covered by extraneous plates that need to be removed before something basic like changing the oil can be done. now, i've never had to replace the battery or a specialty part on a hybrid, nor have i owned one myself, but i did ask a mechanic as a general question once and he said no, it wasn't any different to him.
