Fully half the hybrids listed get crappy mileage and it is looking worse on the horizon with even more low mileage cars and SUVs on the way.
Hey, now. Don't hate the messenger! This site is just an outlet. Realize that if tomorrow hybrids are apple juice-powered, the entire content of the site will shift automatically, except for my publishing articles manually. This site simply mirrors what's going on in the world.

That said, the real mileage database logs real mileage! The point isn't to only display those who are doing "well." It's to display what people really are getting!

Performance cars may be coming out now, sure. But when gas hits $3 a gallon and people suddenly ask for that fuel economy booste again, we'll have the technology to implement it. We'll have 60 MPG sedans instead of 30 MPG sedans.
