Darin, Well, if a hybrid saves money by using electricity part of the time, and electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel at the utility station, wouldn't electricity be equally as (more) expensive over there as petrol? Unless they have come up with some alternative way of generating electricity, it would stand to reason that electricity prices would be in direct line with petroleum prices. When oil prices go up here, electric rates rise, since that is how most of the energy in the U.S. is generated. I don't see how it could be so much different over there.
Of course, some energy/money will be saved through the efficiency of electric motors as compared to gas motors (mainly, the fact that electric motors do not burn fuel while idling at stop lights and such, which doesn't help much if you are primarily doing uncrowded freeway driving). It's certainly not going to be enough to cut your costs that dramatically I would think though.
