Before you go off on the mileage that you can get with a Hybrid, consider that the info that I gave is based on real usage, not EPA tests. I have never seen a car get the mileage that shows up on the EPA tags. Especially not in California.

Also, the difference between 30 mpg and 50 is significant.

To finish off, I don't know what Hybrid you are talking about with skinny tires and aerodynamic styling. The Civic Hybrid looks like a standard Honda Civic. No special styling, the tires are standard. That was one of the selling points.
