Note that this company in ottawa should offer very shortly a program to refit the toyota prius and convert it to a full plug-in hybrid. http://www.hymotion.com/faq.htm
Plug in hybrids are great because you can charge the battery directly from your garqage electricity (from a regular plug) so you ONLY use the gas on long run or when your enginre reaches more than 65km/hour.
As long as you plug it every night and use it in the city only, you would actually NOT consume ANY gas.
