Oh and before I shut systems down. Burning gasoline tonight! What a hassle!
Hybrids are neither the most fuel efficient nor the most ecological types of cars you can buy. They're actually, as far as I can see, a very carefully marketed joke meant to cater to a market that wants to be, ahem, "ecological" but is still affluent and is unwilling to make any compromise in lifestyle.
Honda Civic, I forget the model.
VW golf diesel
There's a few other, gutless cars, but if you want the top performers in mpg, they're all conventional combustion.
Where the hybrids pay is in city traffic, as you spent a lot of time parked. On the road they're no good really. I've driven Insights and Priuses' both a bunch. My Dads '87 Jetta Diesel was a vastly better car, mpg, for half the money.
