Now the HCH does have strengths over the Prius, which is why I bought it, but the IMA delivers neither the performance nor the economy of HSD.

ok. i can't argue with what your personal experience is. but, going by the database here i'm simply saying that the mpg results for the hch and prius are relatively comparable. that's all.
do agree that hsd in prius delivers superior performance in the area of acceleration. that's pretty much undisputed.
