I can pound in a nail with a microscope, that doesn't make it the right tool for the job.

I really don't think so. A smaller vehicle is also a gas powered vehicle in the US. I got stuck behind some idiot going 40mph on the highway and got 22mpg totally stock. With some tuning and other stuff (not hybrid) I would expect at least 25mpg on the highway. I doubt there are many gas powered vans or SUVs that can safely carry 1000lbs of cargo or more and still get 25mpg. If there are they have NO power and suck to drive.
As for trying to shove a bunch of crap into an economy car, that is simply unsafe for you and everyone else on the road.
