Why the hell not? I drive a LOT, about 100 miles a day on average. I fill up my volt with gas once every 3 or 4 months. I save SO MUCH MONEY.

People not using the plug in part are just stupid (or don't have access to chargers, in which case why get a PHEV?)

It's a lack of awareness and training. People buying PHEV's have the right mindset, they want to be more efficient and helpful to the planet, but at the same time nobody is teaching them how to use the car effectively.

It's not rocket science. Plug the car in whenever possible. Done.
