I believe that a well-designed ICE car is more efficient than an identical (but heavier and more complicated) hybrid. Prii and Insights seem to top out around 70 mpg, but there are ICE cars here that beat that.

Look at the Urba Centurion that runs off a little diesel engine and gets 200+ mpg. You can't beat that! In fact, it's about tied with the VW carbon-fiber, plug-in diesel hybrid XL1.
