Allnighter,
I am not sure how traffic is in your area but I would recommend the 5speed Insight for anyone who does mostly highway cruising. Nothing on the road in the US can touch it's efficiency. On the other hand if I drove in stop and go traffic most of the time I would recommend the Prius. (Don't shoot me as a trader). I think the Prius ability to run 100% electric in this situation gives it the advantage. It's a shame that GM killed the EV1. I think hybrids have got a lot more people interested in electric cars unfortunately their arn't many options for most in this area. Have fun, Rick
