Either get an easy biodiesel conversion with the TDI or get an easy PHEV conversion with the Prius. Go with whatever's more useful.
I'd say Prius because I would expect the supply of used vegetable oil to diminish as biodiesel becomes more popular (not to mention demand by commercial biodiesel companies!). On the other hand, there's a seemingly endless ways to generate your own electricity. For example, if you live near a river, a waterwheel can provide surprisingly reliable power. Or if you live in a cold climate, you could CHP from natural gas to generate electricity while heating your house.
Oh, and gasoline is currently cheaper than diesel.
