Some hybrids not as reliable as gas-powered models

Efficient drivers do it better.

Two steps forward, one step back.

The only possible explanation I can think of would be that hybrids run leaner compared to most non-hybirds.

Who paid for the study? The CR data is not showing this. Could it be GM who has no real hybrid and has bet the farm on hydrogen fuel cells? :huh:

if you read the study, many of what they call engine problems, are not. they fall under misc., other/unspeifiec or general catigorys like check engine light.

far from the conclusion they draw in the headlines.
