According to toyota.ca, the whole hybrid system is
under warranty for 8 years, which includes the
battery.

I've heard of folks adding extra batteries and then
charging them in their garage - this then allows them
to run on mostly electric for a lot further.

Personally I've been playing with biodiesel as an
option, which is cheap and easy to make from waste
restaurant grease. Sadly though, our Type 3's don't do
diesel. We bought an old mercedes to try it on - so
far so good.

In other news, my Fastback is insured for the summer
again! woohoo!

Cheers,
