Did I ask this already? IF so, apologies.

I've been reading about and hearing about hybrid cars. All these great promises that the car will get like, 35 MPG. Huh? My 1990 CRX got THAT, and it was the sports model. There was an HF version that got around 50.

So, WHY do you now have to get a hybrid to get the mileage you used to be able to get with a smaller car?

I smell something akin to planned obsolescence re: gas refills.
