I'll trust the other automotive magazines I've read over your
experience.
And since I haven't read Edmund's reports on hybrids . . .


More evidence that you can't even research properly. Edmunds has owner
forums and you can read what people are truly getting from a car in a
variety of locations. Magazine tests are too limited on their own to
judge something like MPG.

Are you saying that Consumer Reports is too limited to include owner
surveys? AAMOF, CS has consumer feedback on every car sold in America,
unless it's too new to be valid. Not to mention that magazine tests are
performed by highly experienced individuals whose only job is to perform
such tests and write them up. That would be in contrast to a single
self-proclaimed expert of everything whose unknowledgable opinions are
completely worthless in the overall scheme of things.


Wrong by your standards is probably right by everyone else's

According to Edmunds and the many Hybrid owners posting there, you're
wrong...about all of it.

I'm sure the "many hybrid owners" are more orgasmic about their cars than
about the second coming of Christ. After all they already bought them and
are stuck with an cost-inefficient technology that will be superceded
shortly.
