My 9K CSE gets 30 mpg at 80 with the A/C on, 35 at 70.
23 around town, 28 mixed driving.
Except for the environmental angle there isn't a whole lot positive about hybrids. With the premium the dealers are paying the payback is waaaay out there in fuel savings. And think of those batteries starting to fail 5 to 8 years from now. You just know they aren't all gonna be recycled.
Fuel cells make a lot more sense. That's where the R&D money should go, instead of hybrids or say, a mission to Mars.
