Toyota's revelation Tuesday that it will develop a new " plug-in hybrid" - which uses a wall socket at night to charge and relies on an electric motor to go many miles before sipping any gasoline - could presage a major shift in automotive technology , some industry analysts say. But gasoline prices have since soared to more than $3 a gallon.
