This doesn't just have to do with plug-in electrics. I live in the San Francisco Bay area, and you see Priuses all the time, which can distort your perceptions of their prevalence. When I went on a trip to Oklahoma, I think I counted two or three during the several days that I was there. Many of the cars were SUVs. Regarding the mileage of the hybrid Prius, I've been seeing closer to 43 mpg. Eric
