People gripe and moan about rising fuel prices, then along comes an attempt to buffer that with hybrid automobiles, and then you still have people griping and moaning once again about this attempt to curtail fuel expenses. What's up with that?????? Until John/Jane Q. Doe "starts pushing" our government to do something about rising fuel prices,energy alternatives will never have an opportunity to come about. I think more then just a few cars offered for sale would be in order "anywhere USA". Recharging as it runs/breaks is a great contribution to ingenuity for the 21st century. Good for you Toyota for having the "nad's" to be the first to sell them.
