    I support Electric car. But then hybrid is a good compromise.

      The hybrid technology should be pretty mature by now. Lots of taxis in my city is using Toyota Prius. And if it is not mature, I am sure the taxi companies won't use it.

    No, I am still waiting for more manufacturers to offer the hybrid choice. So I am not forced to buy from Toyota. My understanding is that the hybrid technology works the best with Toyota's vehicles.

    I actually am considering my options here... not just because of gas price, but because I feel that, as the hybrid technology matures, the price for a hybrid vehicle will hopefully go down to a point where I can afford to pay a little extra off the bat for a more environmentally-friendly choice...

      Good for you!

      My family is a bit more conservative and still sticking with gasoline cars. I actually did some math for my dad who was considering both Corolla and Prius. With my dad's driving usage (30km/day), he can save about $4500 CDN of gasoline in 10 years if he goes with Prius (hybrid). This is assuming the gas price will stay the same. But Prius is at lest $10,000 more expensive than Corolla.

      So, he ended up getting Corolla instead. I can see why the main reason of buying a hybrid car is not cost alone.
