ITs not 40 and I don't blame you for taking it out on the Fit.
I hate that car companies think we only want high mileage on hybrids. The insight non hybrid build thread is probably one of the culminations of that pent up frustration.
I just would not ever own a hybrid. With a little technique virtually any hybrid could be converted into a more FE friendly gasser. Yank the bats from the Prius yank the e-motor yank all the expensive electronic systems and leave the ECU and the ICE and the longer gears in the trans. Inject some water into the engine and run the thing throttle less with lean burn without a CAT and just a muffler.
