and even having a hybrid doesn't mean much if it's all highway miles. people dont realize that hybrid technology only helps in stop and go city driving. on the highway, it sucks as much gas as any other comparable 4 cylinder. funny, they just had a thing on Top Gear recently that had a new m3 follow a prius around a track at 80 or 90mph. the m3 got better gas mileage...go figure.
