You seem unaware that there are other efficiencies besides just fuel efficiency.... Manufacturing is one of the worst deals ever in terms of pollution and out of control energy usage.
The Subject says FUEL efficiency & therefore you're off-subject.

But to answer your statement: Manufacturing energy equals ~10,000 miles worth of fuel (25mpg average). Overall you save more energy switching to a 50 mpg hybrid than to continue driving a 25 mpg guzzler.
