I think they drive electric though and gas is used to start? They do not use much, so I have heard.

So I'd still have to buy gas.  What a racket LOL!

The Prius has a gas engine, it's not 100% electric. You don't ever have to plug it in if you don't want to.

I don't want to own 2 cars and pay insurance on both. Therefore, it may be in my best interest to stay with a gas car for now.

However if I needed a larger capacity car the calculations would change. Which is why I kept my Tahoe with over 100,000 miles to use for towing boats and horse trailers and got the Prius. The other option would have been to spend about $10,000 for another large car for towing which would also have had much higher gas mileage.
