When, in reality, hybrid drivetrains are basically a band-aid to the problem because they enable the auto engineers to not design better, more FE, engines.

Watch the "Smug Alert!" episode of "South Park" to understand why regular people buy a Prius lol.
Toyota has a gasoline direct injection turbo'd engine on the way with a thermal efficiency of 43%,rivaling the best in the world,including the best TDI engines from any carmaker,worldwide.
