The key word here was transportation. Which is getting from A to B using
transport.
Question is, can you buy a nice MB Diesel (240D?) for 5k and then spend
5k on fuel to be in the same place that the pious will leave you?
It's my understanding that the hybrids are trouble in regards you got a
petrol drive train to maintain and an electric drive train to maintain.
Plus all the other car bits, suspension, electrics, etc

I can see the sense in a fully electric car, as in theory there is less
to go wrong but obviously the reality is different. "oooh you need a new
control unit for the electric thingamajiggy? That will be $3k Sir, plus
tax and no you can't buy these off a fat dude in Florida"

There was a (2006?) Prius in the Tampa paper for $8000. It was
tempting. Put a new "big battery" in it and you'd have pretty good
transportation for around $10,000 providing there weren't serious
problems elsewhere.
