While not really good for the environment, they do save some fuel. The overall cost per mile is not much higher then a conventional car. The pollution issue is possibly greater as their lives are shorter. The primary cause of pollution for automobiles is the junking of them.
Keeping the same car longer and keeping it running well is far better then buying a new hybrid.
Actually hybrid cars have been on the market for such a short time that is not possible yet to really compare how long they last to standard cars. Most people who own hybrid cars have not yet owned them as long as the typical lifetime of a non-hybrid car. So far there is little or no evidence that they wear out any sooner than normal cars - but only time will tell.
