That has to be one of the best shows on TV, period. What he said is true. If you drive any hybrid like you drive any other car, the mileage is not impressive at all. You do have to work at getting the EPA numbers. This is where the hybrid manufacturers have failed IMO. I shouldn't have to learn any techniques to achive the numbers, I should be able to push a "ECON" button and let the car do everything for me. It currently does not.
