I, too, have a short commute -- 1.8 miles. But I live in the hilly northern suburbs of NYC with narrow, winding roads (no shoulders) where commuters routinely drive 55+ in 30 mph zones. We also get plenty of snow and rain. Riding a bike on my commute would be too dangerous, I wouldn't even consider it.
I have two friends who have recently leased Chevy Volts (cheap), and I'm starting to think that these are ideal for many of us. I love the instant torque of the electric motor, and the build quality is better than anything I've seen from GM (excluding SAAB, of course). On my commute the gas engine would never start, one charge would easily last me all week and I'd get the equivalent of ~90 mpg.
