I'd like to recommend that we stop using the old-unit-dependent vernacular in this discussion.
Rather than "get better mpg," let's say something like, use less gas (or fuel) or go further on each fill-up.

Everyone doesn't need the same kind of vehicle. So the total mpg is not the key. It's the INCREASE in mpg which is the determining factor (among others) in buying a hybrid vehicle. Stan Doore
