that is exactly why I said “pompous” hybrid owners. Those hybrid owners who simply like it..but don’t try to rub their “superiority” in folk’s faces are not pompous...

I have a coworker who - with a straight face, and seriously - told me that his hybrid "Got 34mpg. But it's actually a lot higher than that because the gasoline engine cuts off at intersections."

I haven't figured that one out yet....if you put 10 gallons of gas in a car, and go 340 miles, then you are at 34 mpg. Period. Doesn't matter when the engine runs.

Sounded like he was parroting a salesweasel, along with making a convenient rationalization that his hybrid that gets a few extra miles per gallon was worth the extra $7500 he paid for it.

I love listening to hybrid owners rationalize and justify their decisions.
