Does anyone know what the tax break is on owning a Hybrid vehicle? Also is
it just for the first year you own it or the lifetime of the vehicle? TIA.

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.

2006-2007 Ford Escape Hybrid Front WD $2,600
2006-2007 Ford Escape Hybrid 4 WD $1,950
2005 Honda Accord Hybrid $650.00
2006 Honda Accord Hybrid $1,300.00*
2005 Honda Civic Hybrid (SULEV) MT $1,700.00
2005 Honda Civic Hybrid (SULEV) CVT $1,700.00
2006 Honda Civic Hybrid CVT $2,100.00
2005-2006 Honda Insight CVT $1,450.00
2007 Lexus GS 450h $1,550
2006 Lexus RX400h 2WD $2200
2006 Lexus RX400h 4WD $2200
2006-2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid 4 WD $1,950
2007 Saturn VUE Green Line SUV $650
2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid $2,600
2006 Toyota Highlander 4WD Hybrid $2600
2006 Toyota Highlander 2WD Hybrid $2600

*2006 Honda Accord Hybrid without updated control calibration

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.
