Condoms should always be used when going in the back door. You never know what windows can spread if practicing unsafe sex!

This is bullshit, hybrid cars should use a different metric. In theory, a hybrid could get infinite MPG.
Only if it's a plug in hybrid.

New Developments In NPG/Wikipedia Lawsuit Threat 345
Raul654 writes "Last week, it was reported that the UK's National Portrait Gallery had threatened a lawsuit against an American Wikipedian for uploading pictures from the NPG's website to Wikipedia. The uploaded pictures are clearly in the public domain in the United States. (In the US, copies of public domain works are also in the public domain. UK law on the matter is unclear.) Since then, there have been several developments: EFF staff attorney Fred von Lohmann has taken on the case pro-bono; Eric Moeller, Wikimedia Foundation Deputy Director, has responded to the NPG's allegations in a post on the WMF blog; and the British Association of Picture Libraries and Agencies has weighed in on the dispute in favor of the NPG."

The insight doesn't use purely electrical power. When the car moves, the engine must be on. The electric power is just like a temporary "afterburner boost".
Of course you'll void the warranty if you hook up some untested batteries. You think Toyota is going to cover replacing all the hybrid components because your 50000volt battery overloaded the 500v sized inverter? Or perhaps think about those lithium battery recalls from certain laptop makers... Do you think Toyota is going to replace your car because your after-market battery exploded and caught on fire? NO.
The Prius was NOT designed to run on pure electrical power. For example: the transmission oil pump does NOT turn on unless the gas engine is on. Driving XXX miles without lube is a recipe for disaster.
A new Prius, one that is DESIGNED by Toyota to be a plug-in hybrid is undergoing testing.
All companies want to make money. You'd be naive to think of any other purpose.
