Inode, > Ten, they may do it in CA

And in NY, MA, DC, MD, VA, OR, WA, etc.

> But for 13 miles, I don't know ANYONE who would hassle with it.

I don't know what's the hassle you're talking about. You drive the car into your garage and plug it in. Unplug it before you drive out.

Yeah, it only saves like 1/4 gallon of gas (considering Prius mileage) per charge, but considering that the Prius is already stingy with gas, that's significant percentage-wise. If your daily commute is 26 miles round-trip, you're saving 50% on gas.

"But they're not going to in most of the places around the country"

You mean, they aren't going to do it in Hogwallow, Arkansas and other southern flyover locations..

"And imagine in locales where Winters are bad. No way."

What does winter have to do with plugging in or not???
