A friend's wife bought one of the little Ford hybrids. Cannot recall the
exact name.
He says it does amazing on fuel if one tries. His wife has a bit of a
heavy foot and does not do as well in day to day driving as he does if
he takes it somewhere and tries to get good mileage.
Maybe not quite so "green" as the Leaf, but more practical with the
gasoline engine as backup or whatever if one needs to go beyond the
charge distance.

At the Nissan dealership to drive pickups yesterday I talked him into letting
us drive the Nissan Leaf electric car. I know you old bastards all hate
anything new and different but you need to go out and try one.
Yes its small but the seating area is about the same as my Jetta.
No its not tinny or cheap feeling.
Yes its VERY quiet.
Its not slow, about the same as my Jetta.
100 mile rated range, the kid at the dealership has one and says 80 is more
likely. I enjoyed watching the range meter count up while coasting. We went 6
miles on 3 miles of capacity.
If I could get my employer to put in a charging station I'd seriously consider
one...
