My next car will be a plug-in hybrid, either a Saturn, Toyota, or something fun like an Austin Mini.

Yes! My next car as well.. however, I still have 4 years of payments on my current vehicle. (KIA Optima)
Ah well, the hybrids will improve even more by then!! :) (I hope) *crosses fingers*

Well, since I literally live a 15 minute walk from work - and even if we go back to campus it's a 30 minute walk - I'm within plug-in drive range for everything I need to do except vacations (most of which I fly, except this summer am driving to the Kootenays (Rocky Mountains) in B.C.)

So I can run 99 percent on green electricity - in Seattle I pay for 100 percent green power (even though commercial electric here is 95 percent green anyway), and it's from wind, solar, and hydro.

Okay, now that's awesome!!! :)

I'm certainly jealous! :)
