/---/ My brother has two hybrids, and he loves them both. But, they aren't for everyone.My daughter has a 2002 Prius hybrid. She took me back and forth to a doctor's appointment. The readout indicated that she got over 90 mpg on the trip (with little wear on the tires). I asked her if it had power. She floored it and put me against the seat. Very impressive. I will buy a hybrid in the future.
