I've recently heard that Toyota has launched in japan a hybrid car called
the Prius, the first mass produced hybrid. advanced power control means the
car has 3.5l/100km or 80mpg. It was not discolsed how that figure was
devised, but I would assume that it is highway driving.

other questions unanswered:

price
lifetime of batteries
servicing costs
relaibaility
