Hybrids release up to 80% less emissions, does the technology consume that much more energy. I think you are basing this on a flurry of very misleading info that has been exposed.

Not sure I see the connection to how long I drive my cars. Every car I have purchased in the last 30 years has gone on to do your 100,000 miles. Why is it significant whether I drove it myself?
Hybid emissions aren't the topic at hand, it is about the energy consumed by a hybrid vehicle. Follow the lead back to the mine and through the smelter. Calculate the energy used by those that produce in another country because of the energy required to get the car to market. Consider the energy that goes into producing aluminum. We should think about total energy, not how much it costs to fill the tank.
Anyway, the magic solution isn't hydrogen, hybrid, or whatever. It is to drive less. Sorry if that isn't as glamorous, but it is a pretty straightforward solution.
