A while back I posted somewhere else about running into (the owner, not the car ) a Malibu Hybrid and talked with the driver a little. He showed me the gauges inside and ran thru the computer display. At 3/4 of a tank it was showing his average MPG of 46.x and an estimated range to empty of a touch over 600 miles.... this suggests to me that if driven carefully, that "mild" hybrid just might be a real winner.

... now if they could just do the new 6 speed auto with that hybrid instead of forcing things back into the old 4 speed...hmmmm
