Another problem is bat life and it's replacement cost.Some years back I read in CR they were good for about 4yrs and cost 4k to replace.I don't know if the numbers have changed but I'll stick with gas only.

To be fair as I understand it its not uncommon for the batteries to last 8 years. Of course even if they are $2,000 there goes even the minimal gas savings over a Yaris! Prius =
