FYI, Prius isn't the best fuel consumption car in the market anymore.
VW Polo Bluemotion has achieved 72.4 MPG. 08' Mini One D with Start/stop
also has the same figure. And guess what? They are cheaper (in Europe anyway),
more fun, and imo, they are much much better looking than the *dullius*.
Oh, and one more thing, they don't involve hyper-complex technology like the
hybrids do.
So if you believe in hybrids, then go write your checkbook. For me, I believe
efficient engine (ie the blue motion), clever engineering (ie start/stop in all
minis and bmw 4 cylinder engines 08'), and good driving attitude are the
perfect solution until the fruit of fuel-cell tech rip open.
