I cannot deny that hybrid versions of the same car have aero tweeks and LRR tires and such, but they seldom make for mare than 5% difference in their specific field.
The overall gain would be less than that, certainly not the 30% that these examples display.
Give a normal car all the eco goodies the hybrid version of that car has and it will still use 25% more than that hybrid.
Put the same engine and drivetrain in as the hybrid has. It will still use 15% more and drive like a pig to boot.
Hybrids make sense, but not everyone is prepared to take sense (ducks
).
