You could not find any actual data??
Other than the actual data, i.e. the mpg of the cars.
If toyota could make the Echo get 55mpg instead of a Prius, do you think they would?

What I am concerned about, is that I can't find any actual data that supports hybrids being able to be more efficient. I am not talking about mpg claims, I am talking about science. What technology makes a hybrid any more efficient than the comparable ICE?
