Again....."No. And they pollute like hell in cities, whereas the
Prius does not."

Eagerly awaited, Dennis joins in.......

How far can a prius go without running the petrol engine?

4 miles.

So you can commute for a whole two miles

Dennis, it says four above. But the Volt can do 60 miles.

Yes, sorry dribble, he forgot your mathematical problem. Most folks who
commute need to come home again at the end of the day - else it would
not be commuting - more like going and staying.

So if you can go a total of 4 miles you need to divide that by two to
work out the maximum commute. If you will pardon some tricky sums: 4 / 2
= 2 (don't worry if you don't understand the math - just take it from
us, we won't be asking questions later)
