I've been asked....or rather TOLD
That the hybrid only uses electric power.

Does it run when you run out of gas?
Do you plug it in?

For some reason MPG never comes up. I don't think most people care that much about gas mileage until you tell them that you are getting 38-43 MPG...you can hear in their voice that they know that those numbers are a lot more than what they are getting.

I agree that the general knowledge of hybrids is much lower than I thought, yet I have no doubt that in 5 years, hybrids will be very commonplace.
