Hybrid doubters — who once railed that the batteries were sketchy, the costs of the so-called hybrid premium unrecoverable, the mileage gains overstated, and so on — are beginning to look like the Flat Earth Society. As it stands now, Toyota can incrementally improve their gasoline-only hybrids, staying out front in the mpg wars.
