Re: Poll: Aussies Unconvinced By Hybrid Cars - $10 Fuel Bills LPG Hybrid On The Way?

I think the so called "mild hybrids" and me-too hybrids that flaunt the name but offer puny fuel savings for a not-cost-effective price have soured a lot of people on Hybrid models of regular cars. Besides, many of these hybrid SUVs or hybrid big cars were never designed for maximum aerodynamics or the other things that make a purpose-built hybrid like the Prius remain more attractive in the midst of the also-rans.
