Thanks for that. I had a look at their web site but didn't see
anything straight away. Is a Hybrid car the same as an electric I

No, a Hybrid car is a petrol engined car with electric assistance.

You can easily get similar fuel consumption out of a Golf PD Diesel although
some would prefer the Prius for it's alleged environmental benefits.
