After my friend mentioned it was a Prius several times, one of her friends asked if it was a hybrid.

How do you live under a rock, but still have Facebook?
How did the Prius use no gas? I can't imagine any commute that uses a quarter tank of gas being completed by even the Prime on EV alone.

Also, a person that doesn't know if a Prius is a hybrid would likewise not know what it means to be a hybrid vehicle. Maybe the question was in jest.
