Gas=33.4 Kilowatt-hours per gallon, and weighs 6.3 lbs.
Prius battery pack = 1.3 kwatt-hours(only half used to preserve battery?), and weighs 100 lbs.
It would take over 2500 pounds (5000 lbs to preserve batteries) of batteries to equal a gallon of gas.

5500+ Gallons of gas(small tanker) = 6875 TONS of batteries.
