Full hybrids hold a lot of promise when coupled with the idea of a plug in hybrid. Pickup and SUV drivers are not immune to gas prices or the idea of saving $$. I think that if you offered someone the idea of driving to work and back for less than a buck a day, there would be a lot of drivers that would take that option. But not if they have to drive a small vehicle. With 2 million + new pickups built every year the potential fuel savings are incredible!

That's what I am hoping happens with GM's big hybrid trucks. GM recently promised to build a plug in hybrid VUE. They just need a battery that's reasonably priced. If you drive a Prius, Camry, or Ford Escape, and have a little extra coin (well, OK, $12K is a lot of extra coin) there's a company called Hymotion (hymotion.com) in Canada that makes a battery that will make your vehicle a plug in hybrid. Today!

I think it is inevitable that we will switch to hybrids then probably electric, but for a lot of us, its not happening fast enough.
