Well, first off, I don't own a car.
But, if someone offered me a hybrid, I wouldn't refuse.

They don't sell them here yet.. petrol here is relatively cheap though being a oil rich country :D So it's not profitable to sell one. Great mentality eh?
It's 0.36 cents a litre. Or thereabout
USD 1,64 a gallon. Is that cheap?

I've owned a Honda Civic Hybrid (5 speed) for two years now.
I love everything about it. It's had a perfect maintenance/repair record, it gets 52 mpg highway at the speed limit without the air conditioning on, and it was relatively inexpensive as cars goes. Like all Honda Civics, it is a max 4 person car.
I have nothing but great things to say about it. My best friend owns a Toyota Prius and loves his as well.
I went with the Honda because I wanted a stick, and they only make Prius' in automatics.
Two minor issues: if you live in mountains, its lack of horsepower can be a problem; it uses 0w20 oil which is difficult to get a source of supply on.

Currently, yes, as gas prices in Ohio are at 1.85 USD a gallon.
