Richard,

This isn't meant to offend you or anything but my wife had a '04 Malibu that got 30 miles to the gallon and now has an Colbalt that she regularly gets 32 miles to the gallon, neither are hybrids and don't have all that extra complex circuitry, or batteries.
Why would anyone buy a vehicle that costs so much more just to get the same milleage?
