    Included this data with my gas data. Interesting to see the Prius sales don't track gas prices as much as hybrids in general, apparently because Toyota could always sell as many as of the Prius as they could import, so the demand was never really met, at least since 2004. (Note dip in early 2006 when production was reduced to help the Camry Hybrid ramp up production, followed by a bump as people raced to get the full tax benefit before September.)

    Of course, if this was an electric vehicle they would've pointed to the weak sales the first few years, say it was too expensive, and drop the whole project. And you would miss the stellar rise a couple years later. Or maybe I'm just a cynic tonight?
