Default Hybrid Emblems on Non-hybrid vehicles.

This really bugs me. I have now seen 4 Ford trucks (two Rangers and two F150s, all oldish) with the Hybrid leaf right beside the FORD emblem on their tail gates. Why? is my question. Do they think that people will think their trucks are hybrids? Perhaps they just like the look of the leafy emblem? I know this sort of thing plagues the Hondas with all these guys putting "Type R" or "VTEC" on their cars when they are neither. I just don't get it. Has anyone else seen this? I certainly hope they aren't stealing emblems off of actual hybrids!
