Anyone drive a hybrid?

Do you own one? a mule that is

No, but it could be construed as driving a hybrid in some pastoral society

They still emit green house gases though.

My question is this...

It takes energy to charge these fuel cells, which means a power station somewhere has to burn something, so do these hybrids really impact the cost to the environment?

If they can stick one of these hybrid engines into a Mitsubishi L200 ill be happy!

The standard Prius does not need plugging in. As Karl pointed out it conserves energy that would otherwise be wasted and keeps the battery topped up.

There have been people who have modded their cars to plug them in overnight but currently such a conversion is expensive. Over 100MPG has been made possible in this way though .
