Thanks stubby! that's numbers I had come up with but as I over-thought it, began to doubt myself. Started trying to work in the premium/regular gas argument and just kept getting more confused.

Oldtamiphylie: don't think she'd go for a Prius, not sure I'd go for one either. Still not convinced that the total footprint of the batteries is offset buy the fuel savings. Thanks for the math on that tho showing how something that good can completely cancel out a gas guzzler like a Jeep....or a turbo Subaru
