If you ever get a chance to drive one you will see you actually get more mpg without using any of the hybrid systems. Thats right.
I own and use .. a HEV ... which I can and have run in a PHEV mode ... and I have and use a small BEV.on occasion as well ... not sure who you were referring to though.

The second claim is conditionally correct or incorrect... meaning ... weather or not the hybrid system is a + or a - to mpg will depend on the condition / context ... it is incorrect to claim it would be + in all contexts , and it is just as incorrect to claim it would be - in all contexts... which may not be popular ... but that is more accurate.
