Attila Dimedici writes "Eric Peters makes the case that hybrids have been over-hyped. His spat is that in order to sell people on hybrid cars, automakers have accent the energy efficiency of hybrids in ideal clime and failed to tell people that in most ordinary driving clime they will not come close to meeting the numbers given. He refers to a recent case where an discrete has chosen to forego fellowship in a class action law suit and has instead chosen to go to small claims court. He suggests that there is a meaning chance that she will win there and that this will open up all of the manufacturers of hybrid vehicles to similar lawsuits.

I know that Slashdot has a large contingent of hybrid and EV supporters who are well educated on the subject (as well as a large contingent of those who are not so well educated)."
