(156.34.23.207)With the recent euphoria over hybrid cars and the claim that you can have a better MPG than a gasoline-only engine, one guy decided to put up a blog detailing his experience with his recent purchase of a Honda Civic Hybrid. In it, he challenges the 47 mpg in city claim.
Following a report from Consumer Reports confirming the same conclusion (60% less mpg than advertised), Wired News Wired News reports a nice article on the blog and the whole story behind Hybrid Car and how they fail the supposed more mpg claim.
Read before thinking of buying one.
