Hybrids less efficient than ICE

Energy Efficient Technologies

Okay, so that's the very mild Hybrid is less efficient than a direct injection (with a turbo or blower). Just a tinsy little lie to grab attention. And then subtract the 7.5% boost from forced air injection.

But I really thought it was the fact that CVTs got a 6% boost and a dual clutch got a 7% boost that stood out most! Is that unicorn poop or due to the frictional losses common to CVTs.

Also if cylinder deactivation is so cool, could we see v4s and w3s? Guess not because Direct Injection means you don't need separate banks to do the job.
