High gasoline prices don’t necessarily translate into blockbuster sales for all gas/electric hybrid vehicles.

Honda is offering a $1,200 deal incentive on the Accord Hybrid, making it the first gas/electric model to receive such financial support from the manufacturer.

Since Oct. 4, dealers have received the $1,200 from American Honda Motor Co. for each Accord Hybrid they sell. Other 2005 Accords carry dealer incentives of $700 to $1,200. The offers are scheduled to end Dec. 5. The dealers then can pass any or all of that money along to the consumer.
