  1. Hybrid is the way to go. There is still a gas station on every corner, and it still takes only 5 minutes every couple of weeks to “fully charge” our hybrid’s gas tank. No need for expensive electrical work in our garage. No worries about long road trips.

    1. Plug-in hybrid is the better way. In my experience, drive using the electric motor 90 percent of the time around town; burn fossil fuel on the rare occasion I must drive more than 50 miles in a day. Plug in at night and be charged up, which does not require “expensive electrical work in [your] garage.” I have saved buckets of bucks by not buying fossilized dinosaurs.

    2. Not too sure about that. Got stuck with a phev Jeep rental staying in a place where there was no charger available. It got only 18mpg running mostly on gas.

      Not a good tradeoff vs. a “regular” hybrid that would have gotten twice the mpg.
