You are focusing on one example, the Hummer vs Pious, and not addressing the broader issues. Personally I think the Hummer is a silly vehicle, so it gets no points from me. I do think that comparisons of the Accord vs Accord Hybrid, Civic vs Civic Hybrid, Echo vs Prius, are more valid. Throwing out the entire concept of the study because you think the hybrid will run longer to EOL than they do doesn't seem logical to me.
The propaganda you refer to is more in the public press headlines and less in the data itself. I think people should read the data and draw their own conclusions.
Yes, I read it.
