"but I think those are the main reasons why a number of hybrids have highway EPA ratings 10-15 mpg higher than the highest MPG ICE car ever produced."

I agree with everything you said, except for this. Is this really true? The Geo Metro is rated 53 mpg highway. The 80s VW diesels had good mpg too.

you're totally right, I mixed up my facts. they are 10-15 mpg higher than the highest MPG ice car currently produced for the US market which is the Mitsubishi mirage.
