A regular Accord, for example, requires 95 percent more energy to produce than the average vehicle, while the Accord hybrid requires 144 percent, or nearly 50 percent more than the gas version.
Should say "of the energy used" instead of "more energy". There is no way the regular Accord is on the top side of 100.
