Default Re: Suing for mileage claims

I personally wouldn't call a system which only starts/stops the engine (autostop) as a hybrid. I'd call it another fuel saving device of the engine. For example if Ford introduced some kind of "Intelligent" throttle limiter or higher top gear it wouldn't be a hybrid.

.

Efficient drivers do it better.
