That percentage is a lot less now.
Even an H2 driver bought a used Prius because he saves $2k in gas every month.... saw it on CNN.
Most that are looking at hybrid in general (not specifically with just getting good mpg) usually ends up getting the Camry Hybrid when they leave the showroom. The Prius looks so cheap and feels like an econo-box (even thought it can be loaded with a lot of toys) that they prefer the comfort and luxury of the TCH instead.... for about the same price.
My wife got the Prius not because it was an hybrid, but because she liked the geek toys.

In order to even spend $2k per month, he would have to drive about 4000 miles per month. Now he's SAVING $2k per month? I don't buy it.
I've never driven a prius, but it seems like it would be kind of fun in a geeky sort of way.
