If you have a car that both plugs in and runs on a conventional engine, what's the mix of miles done on grid power versus gasoline? In the case of the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid, with an electric range of 6 to 15 miles, that's probably about right--especially in the kind of low-speed, stop-and-go urban.
