The Civic is a hybrid.

Hardly a "Hybrid" - The Civic IMA cannot be run on electrickery only.
It's only an extension into production of the Dynalto concept that PSA
had running a few years ago.

You gotta remember dribble's learning difficulties. A word to him only
means what he thinks it should mean. Gearbox. CVT. Etc?

So 'hybrid' to him automatically means good fuel consumption - despite any
real world results showing quite the reverse under many circumstances.

Oh - and Civic doesn't mean hybrid.
