A little off topic.
I was reading yesterdays paper and there was a story about a local guy that modified a Toyota Prius to "plug-in" and claims 100 mpg. There is meeting with the CEOs of the Big 3 and Leaders of Congress on Thursday and he plans on showing his car.
Here is the part I find funny he flew the car to Washington on Monday instead of driving it there.

Anyways here is his site, calcars.org
