That's the sad part of it all:
Hybrid systems are often not being used to build vehicles with a far better fuel efficienc (in 1st generation Insight style) but as a band-aid to be able to build bigger, heavier vehicles with a more or less acceptable fuel consumption.
Then when Honda builds a smaller hybrid (the Jazz / Fit hybrid), it actually has worse FE than the larger Insight II while being only 1000 euro less expensive !
