Thanks to everybody for their comments and commmiserations. I guess I'm not entirely crazy yet. At least, on this basis alone.

Aha, finally a piece of useful information in my 'hybrid seat' discussion, compared to what I experienced elsewhere! I personally have sat in both seats also, and did not notice a difference, but it was only for a short time. Plus, I'm narrow like the seats, so I'm not sure I would have noticed that characteristic.
Maybe it's the model year, as you suggest. Either way, it is very refreshing to talk about this with somebody who understands the basic point (hybrid issue versus not a hybrid issue), even while disagreeing with my possibly faulty initial data (hybrid seats are the same as non-hybrid).
Hey, if they are indeed bolstered more on the sides, maybe they are that way in order to keep all of the hypermilers in their seats, as they take city street corners at 35mph in order to conserve momentum.
