Do Prius owners get tax benefits for owning a hybrid?

US Federal Credits

Not hybrids, not since 2010.

Federal Tax Credits for Hybrids

Plug in Hybrids do

Federal Tax Credits for Plug-in Hybrids Purchased in or after 2010

Individual states or other countries will vary.

 

You use LESS gas; you pay less in the "hidden" gas tax.

 

Yep. My 1 per month fill up went from 17gal (2002 Highlander - 18mpg) to 5 gal (1/2 tank) on my 2013 Prius.

 

For hybrids-
No Federal benefits.
No state incentives other than some HOV access...possibly CO has some minor tax incentives.

In general, for a hybrid you will pay $3000-4000 more compared to an equivalent non-hybrid, more sales tax, and in some states (eg; VA) fairly significant annual car taxes.

 

....correction to my older post above:
Washington DC gives tax benefits (no sales tax) to all cars over 40 MPG EPA CITY (including Prius Hybrid))

 

Slightly off subject, Ikea has parking places near the front for Hybrid vehicles, the spaces are marked as such and are next to the spaces for plug ins.
