Personally, I think hybrids are a joke. They don't really improve mileage. They don't really take us through the necesary steps toward getting rid of fossil fuels. They just use the same ole technology augmented by an electric motor.... Which gets powered by fossil fuels. They are, in essence, pointless.

Blame it on global warming. Obviously it is much hotter now than it was in the old days before cars and AC and apparently it is only going to get worse. So yes, it is and will be even more necessary. Because of global warming.

LOL!!! Awesome analogy.
However, I also disagree with you on the humidity. Humidity is much much worse than dry heat. Israel and Egypt was quite bearable in the summer but Southeast Asia was brutal with all the mugginess. It's like being smothered with a wet blanket AND it's hot....ugh...
But seriously, I am a bit mad at Honda too. I bought a Civic (non-hybrid0 recently. It is advertised at 30/40 mpg. Sadly, I am getting nowhere near that. I am not even getting 30 mpg. That really sucks especially since I bought the car specifically for it's mileage. If i had known it would be that far off, I would have bought a different car. Yes, I realize results will vary but this is waaay off. It constitutes fraud and false advertising to me.
