Nerys, according to what you say, you're paying $3000 in gas per year. Go buy yourself an older Civic or Corolla or something for $3,000 or less, get double the mileage and break even after a year and a half. After that, you're just saving money. You don't need a hybrid but with as much as you travel it certainly would pay for itself pretty quickly. Do the math and see what works.
BTW, battery packs in those things are holding up incredibly well. The Prius has less than 1% failures after warranty has expired so far.
