I agree. This will once and for all settle the idea that Hybrids fare worse then other cars. Seen as a % they all will fall about the same and the Hybrids probably do better then most. That said the number will seem large...

My only concern is that they will include fast acceleration and braking. This sorta encourages people to continue driving like they are which is not good for the environment or wallet (but probably loved my the middle east and other oil producers).

So I'm of two minds. Not sure if the new number will be better or not. I think they could simply just create a scale and be done with it.

I like that they will include AC's and also cold weather, that could push manufacturers to install even better ACs (and a prius would shine)
