yeah the new insigh Hybird is like that as well. There is an interesting article about Diesel vs. this type of Hybirds. They did a cost comparision for driving both vehicles.

I've still go with diesel just bc of my driving requirements at this time. if i were to get a job lets say downtown toronto then i would go with something that will allow me to travell on battery power first and then when its needed turn on the gas. I think the new Prius is set for this as of 2009. Its a plug in car that will drive for 80-100km without the need of gas. similar to GM's Volt.
