Most of the articles I've read show hybrid as hype, C&D complained that their professional drivers only did 36MPG in their HCH, etc, and this latest article seem pretty much typical.

Personally I've been very happy about my cars performance, and I achieve what most people do not....But I do try to always include that I'm not driving "normally" to do it.
I also post alot on other boards and always point folks to the database here, and point out the current HCH average.
My first tanks were low 40's, and that's when I learned that I'll have to do my part too. I've always known that A/C will hurt MPG in any vehicle. Unfortunately most reviewers will seek out the people less satisfied, and push their complaint forward.

I'm not aware aft anyone, not even one of us who are doing very, very well with our autos being approached by any interviewer. I think that's sad.

Sometimes I even wonder if there is an oil company conspiracy afoot, backing some of these articles.

Efficient drivers do it better.
