There is an enormous degree of hypocrisy with hybrid cars.
There's no way on this planet that a well thrapped hybrid up a m/way will get anywhere near an equivalent diesel comparison...and neither would the average lengthy 'A' road journey either. There's no point whatsoever having one unless you do regular city centre stuff.
Then there's the real world comparitors. Where was the hybrid built, how far has it travelled to get to the donor country, what's gone in to the making of the vehicle e.g. divide the cost of the fuel of the ship that brought it here into the real life cost of the vehicle.
Same as the re-charging costs of an electric one, it's powered by coal in part.
