A (non-plugin) Prius is a hybrid, right? Honda Insight and Civic are also hybrids, I'm fairly certain. They run only on gasoline -- all the electricity came from gasoline; or from regenerative braking which came from gasoline.

I think a hybrid is any vehicle that combines (hybridizes) two types of power sources. Two separate *energy* sources is possible with a hybrid, but using just one energy source doesn't exclude it from being a hybrid.
