A couple of differential questions

Do any know if LSD, limited slip differentials give better fuel economy, or would it have no affect on economy unless running a lot of ice and snow roads, icy hills, etc?

Other than looking in the owners manual for the information, is the check for LSD's to jack up both tires and check for direction of spin by turning one wheel, ie: both tires spin in the same direction = LSD, or if one tire spins forward and one backward = not LSD.

Do Prius and other hybrid vehicles normally come with LSD or open differentials and when ordering a new hybrid vehicle is an option to have LSD differentials given?

More than a couple of questions I guess, Thanks.
